Why not just use BFD_RELOC_NONE here?
In general you should only create a target specific BFD_RELOC enum
constant for relocations which only arise on a particular target. For
example, note that there is no BFD_ARM_RELOC_32.
More generally, I think it's kind of dubious to use a zero reloc to
mean anything at all. And why do you need a relocation entry? Why is
it not sufficient to enter the symbol in the symbol table as an
undefined symbol? Is the use of a zero reloc mandated by the ARM ABI?
