If I understand correctly, you just need to call got->add_constant()
to create the GOT entry without an attached symbol (so that its slot
is initialized to zero). Then, separately, you can attach the
R_SPARC_RELATIVE relocation to it with rela_dyn->add_local_relative().
Output_reloc::write() will put the symbol value into the addend field
when the relocation is created with add_local_relative().

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something.
