Where is the splitting of MIPS %hi and %lo relocations handled?

This implemented by having the assembler sort the relocations so that
each %lo relocations follows the appropriate set of %hi relocations.
It is implemented in gas/config/tc-mips.c in append_insn.  Look for
reloc_needs_lo_p and mips_frob_file.

At first glance the assembler does appear to handle %got correctly, so
I'm not sure why it is failing for you.
