There is nothing wrong with having sdata/scommon/sbbs. I was just 
pointing out that  _gp and _G_O_T_ are not
conceptually the same and if they are not equal, then the whole thing 
blows up with the current cpu/mips/start.S.
See

As long as there is nothing between the .got section and __got_end, it 
works, regardless of the alignment of _gp or
__got_start(or even his presence) and num_got_entries is redundant at 
this point.
