The question as written doesn't make much sense to me.  .debug_abbrev
is the name of a section, not a relocation.

You may well see relocations involving a subtraction between some
symbol and .Ldebug_abbrev0.  That will only happen if the other symbol
is in the .debug_abbrev section.  That kind of calculation can be made
by the assembler at assembly time, and does not involve a relocation.
