                                                         ^^^^^^^^^
                                                         relocatable ?

Approved - please apply.  But...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  /* True if This target has relocatable executables, so needs dynamic
+     section symbols.  */
+  bfd_boolean exec_reloc_p;

There is no need for a capital T on the word "This".

Also - this is a just personal thing, not a requirement - I really
hate the use of ..._p to indicate a boolean value.  We are coding in C
here not lisp and I think that we should try to drop hold overs from
that language.  Thus I would have called this variable:
"is_relocatable_executable" or
"executable_needs_dynamic_section_syms".

------------------------------------------------------------------------
       /* When generating a shared object, these relocations are copied
 	 into the output file to be resolved at run time.  */
-      if (info->shared
+      if ((info->shared || globals->root.exec_reloc_p)

Since you are updating the if() statement, you should update the
comment describing it.
