This patch fixes some arm cases where the assembler did not consider that a
weakly defined symbol might be overridden in the final link. It would use a
short thumb branch resulting in an unoverridable relocation (and inability to
build the linux kernel)
The same error is made in write.c's fixup_segment (and affects this arm problem)
It may affect other targets.
Fixed thusly, tested on arm-eabi. ok?
