This needs _two_ sets of those objects then, because a link employing
multigot will silently break over xgot objects.

Actually, no, mozilla uses the standard gcc/libc objects. It believe it
happens to work because those objects are linked in earlier, so their
GOT entry offset doesn't exceed the limit.
