The R_(MICRO)MIPS_JALR optimization only works when used against functions.
Using the relocation against a data symbol (e.g. function pointer) will
cause some linkers that don't ignore the hint in this case (e.g. LLD prior
to commit 5bab291b7b) to generate a relative branch to the data symbol
which crashes at run time. Before this patch, LLVM was erroneously emitting
these relocations against local-dynamic TLS function pointers and global
function pointers with internal visibility.
