It turned out that the linker can cope with the current gcc startup
files, so the previous patch for 270620 isn't needed, at least not
in its current form.
The appended dpatch works around the binutils breakage triggered by
simultaneously using xgot and multigot. It isn't more than a workaround,
a xgot compile with less than 16k globals but more than 16k GOT entries
will still fail. At least, things don't get worse by it, and it allows
to build working versions of mozilla*.
