binutils: assertion failure bfd/elfxx-mips.c:3860

With forced PIE and SSP support I ran into this assertion failure.
backport two patches to fix this problem from the binutils 2.28 branch.
This fix is already included in binutils 2.28.1 and 2.29.

+Subject: PR ld/21334: Always call `_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms' if required
+
+Complement commit e17b0c351f0b ("MIPS/BFD: Respect the ELF gABI dynamic
+symbol table sort requirement") and correct an inconsistency in dynamic
+symbol accounting data causing an assertion failure in the MIPS backend:
+
+ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.28.51.20170330 assertion fail
+../../binutils-gdb/bfd/elfxx-mips.c:3860
+
+in the course of making a GOT entry in a static binary to satisfy a GOT
+relocation present in input, due to the local dynamic symbol count not
+having been established.
+
+To do so let backends request `_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms' to be
+always called, rather than where a dynamic binary is linked only, and
+then make this request in the MIPS backend.
+
+	bfd/
+	PR ld/21334
+	* elf-bfd.h (elf_backend_data): Add `always_renumber_dynsyms'
+	member.
+	* elfxx-target.h [!elf_backend_always_renumber_dynsyms]
+	(elf_backend_always_renumber_dynsyms): Define.
+	(elfNN_bed): Initialize `always_renumber_dynsyms' member.
+	* elfxx-mips.h (elf_backend_always_renumber_dynsyms): Define.
+	* elflink.c (bfd_elf_size_dynsym_hash_dynstr): Also call
+	`_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms' if the backend has requested
+	it.
+	(elf_gc_sweep): Likewise.
