The thing that bothers me about this patch is that it is against
mips.h and not something clearly ELF specific.  COMMON symbols
with specified alignment is and ELF-only trick.

Have you tried building a mips-ecoff toolchain to see that it
still works?

The comment updates can be committed independantly.
