Thanks, this seems to be the case. In the code for 
elf32_h8_final_link_relocate I found this comment:

      /* The value is relative to the start of the instruction,
         not the relocation offset.  Subtract 1 to account for
         this minor issue.  */
      value -= 1;

on the R_H8_PCREL8 relocation, that is the one that seems to be used in the 
object files. A similar comment is there for R_H8_PCREL16, too.

Now, I need to understand how the howto_table works, and I can see for a 
fix :)

Thanks for pointing me at the right direction.
