Don't change the meaning of the relocations.  Arrange to add new
ones instead.  (A good tome to work out the unclear details
about R_M32R_26_PCREL, methinks.  See the comment at the entry
in m32r_elf_howto_table.

Why so?  I'm coping fine with CRIS.  As Nick pointed out, some
detail must be worked out to make them non-linkable of course.
Or maybe you just refer to the reloc semantics; I agree then.
