RFC on removing R_PARISC_DIR21L in DSO for hppa?

I'm seeing that on occassion a number of DSO's have ended up with
R_PARISC_DIR21L relocations, these relocations are not handled by the
dyanmic loader in glibc (I'm not sure how to handle them to tell you the
truth). There is code here that is '#ifdef 0' with a comment indicating
that it is for debugging purposes.

I assumed that DIR21L and such relocations would endup as DIR32
relocations, those being the only relocs I've ever seen in after a final
link. Would it be valid to warn again when DIR21L relocations are about
to make it into the final link? Or am I missing the point here, do they
finally get turned into DIR32 and halting the link in
elf32_hppa_check_relocs() is not the correct thing to do?

Cheers,
Carlos
