The build failure we're seeing on mips is related to this change. I'm
seeing this from "MACHINE=qemumips bitbake -e":

# LINKER_HASH_STYLE_mips64el=sysv
LINKER_HASH_STYLE_mips64el="sysv"
# LINKER_HASH_STYLE=sysv
LINKER_HASH_STYLE="sysv"
# LINKER_HASH_STYLE_mips64=sysv
LINKER_HASH_STYLE_mips64="sysv"
# TARGET_LINK_HASH_STYLE=${@['-Wl,--hash-style=gnu',''][bb.data.getVar('LINKER_HASH_STYLE', d, True) == 'gnu']}
TARGET_LINK_HASH_STYLE="-Wl,--hash-style=gnu"
# TARGET_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-O1 ${TARGET_LINK_HASH_STYLE} ${ASNEEDED}
export TARGET_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed"

Obviously the problem is TARGET_LINK_HASH_STYLE is that value when
LINKER_HASH_STYLE="sysv" :/

We need to fix this...

Cheers,
