commit ce08b3bb19b372877128ae9d935c1fe52afc33ae
Author: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@orcam.me.uk>

    MIPS/BFD: Fix RELA handling of borrow in the generic linker
    
    Fix an issue with `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' not taking into account
    any borrow from the lower part in the handling of relocations of the
    HI/LO kind and resulting in incorrect calculations made for RELA targets
    in the generic used for non-ELF output such as S-records.  This doesn't
    trigger for REL targets because they call `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc'
    indirectly from `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' so as to obtain a complete
    32-bit addend from relocation pairs and in calculating the addend the
    latter function uses a hack to work around the lack of borrow handling
    in the former function.
    
    The MIPS/ELF linker is unaffected as it uses its own calculations.
    
    Correct the calculation of the relevant partial relocations made in
    `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' then to take the borrow into account and
    remove the hack from `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' as no longer needed.
    
    Add generic linker test cases accordingly expecting the same disassembly
    from srec output produced as from ELF output produced by the MIPS/ELF
    linker.
