This shouldn't really matter.  When applying a reloc, RELA targets are
supposed to ignore the section contents in the field that the reloc
replaces.

Ah!  On looking at elfarm_oabi.c, I see that src_mask is non-zero on a
number of reloc howtos.  That's the real bug that needs fixing.  See the
description of src_mask in bfd/reloc.c.
