Thanks.
If I return 0 in tc_fix_adjustable the symbol name appears in the
relocation.

I find it more informative if the symbol name appears in the relocation,
but probaby other prefer the optimized version.
Makes it sense to make the tc_fix_adjustable return value user selectable?
Of course, only in cases where it doesn't matter technically.
I would implement a command line parameter to do this, and also modify the
other targets.
