Excellent!  The rest of the bug report was good too.

Probably due to string merge code being updated..

This indicates the reloc was against a section symbol in a SEC_MERGE
section.  sec->output_section for these sections is not the correct
output section to use when generating relocs.  Hmm, I think we need
some changes to _bfd_elf_rela_local_sym, so that it returns the
proper section as _bfd_elf_rel_local_sym does.

I'll fix this soon.
