A relocation against a symbol in an MRI common section has to be
converted into a relocation against the MRI common symbol with the
appropriate addend. That is what the code in fixup_segment is doing.
The MRI common test case isn't particularly convincing, since it
doesn't test the reloc information (presumably my fault).
