I don't think there is any point to this patch. The real bug, which
Hans-Peter fixed, is using complain_overflow_bitfield on a reloc that
is the same width as the address size. Presumably the intention is
that such relocs should never overflow, because
complain_overflow_bitfield would allow the entire address range. So
simply using complain_overflow_dont is the correct solution.
