This can't be right -- the values in comp?_opcodes are specific to
R_COMP1, R_COMP2 and R_COMP3.  Trying to use them for R_COMMENT
make no sense at all.

In fact, given the transparent nature of R_COMMENT we may be
better off just saying there's 5 bytes of unknown data after the
R_COMMENT fixup request.
