Support explicit 32-bit MIPS ABI for the synthetic object
PR rust-lang#95604 introduced a "synthetic object file to ensure all exported and
used symbols participate in the linking". One constraint on this file is
that for MIPS-based targets, its architecture-specific ELF flags must be
the same as all other object files passed to the linker. That's enforced
by LLD, here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-16.0.6/lld/ELF/Arch/MipsArchTree.cpp#L77
The current approach to determining e_flags for 32-bit was implemented
in PR rust-lang#96930, which links to this issue that summarizes the problem well:
ayrtonm/psx-sdk-rs#9
> ... the temporary object file is created with an e_flags which is
> invalid for 32-bit MIPS targets. The main issue is that it omits the ABI
> bits (EF_MIPS_ABI_O32) which implies it uses the N64 ABI.
To enable the N32 MIPS ABI (which succeeded O32), this patch enables
setting the synthetic object's ABI based on the target "llvm-abiname"
field, if it's given; otherwise, the O32 ABI is assumed for 32-bit MIPS
targets.
More information about the N32 ABI can be found here:
