Hi,

Renesas assembler relocates local symbols against symbol values as 
mentioned below.

00000000 <bar-0x4>:
   0:   00 00           .word 0x0000
                        0: R_SH_DIR32   bar
        ...

Please consider following patch which also force relocation against symbol. 
This will make gas behave in the same way as renesas assembler would. Is it 
okay to conditinalize this patch with switch?

This patch will also generate relocation against symbols. For example,

RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
OFFSET   TYPE              VALUE
00000000 R_SH_DIR32        bar

Regarding ld testsuit failures, we are ready to make changes to the ld 
testsuit for this to get it approved by FSF.
