which toolchain respectively which gcc and ld version do you use?
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is automatically added by the linker.

For instance If you build qemu-mips with ELDK-5.3 you'll get this in u-boot.map

.got            0x00000000bfc2fe90      0x760
 *(.got)
 .got           0x00000000bfc2fe90      0x760 arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.o
                0x00000000bfc2fe90                _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
                0x00000000000001d8                num_got_entries =
(SIZEOF (.got) >> 0x2)
                0x00000000bfc305f0                . = ALIGN (0x4)
