The segmentation fault occurs in this code hunk:

          /* If this is a -Bsymbolic link and the symbol is defined
             locally or was forced to be local because of a version
             file, we just want to emit a RELATIVE reloc.  The entry
             in the global offset table will already have been
             initialized in the relocate_section function.  */
          if (!is_dyn)
            {
              rela.r_info = ELF32_R_INFO (0, R_PARISC_DIR32);
              rela.r_addend = (eh->root.u.def.value
                               + eh->root.u.def.section->output_offset
                               + eh->root.u.def.section->output_section->vma);
            }
          else
            {
              if ((eh->got.offset & 1) != 0)
                abort ();

              bfd_put_32 (output_bfd, 0,
                          htab->etab.sgot->contents + (eh->got.offset & ~1));
              rela.r_info = ELF32_R_INFO (eh->dynindx, R_PARISC_DIR32);
              rela.r_addend = 0;
            }

It appears we need to check either eh->root.type or
eh->root.u.def.section->output_section to avoid fault accessing
eh->root.u.def.section->output_section->vma?

Didn't pay attention to this before as test passes even with segmentation fault.
