I don't quite understand how this works.  You're changing
make_elf_reloc_mapper to take a Relobj.  But it is called from
Dwarf_info_reader::do_parse passing this->object_, and
Dwarf_info_reader::object_ is an Object, not a relobj.  It's clearly
important that Dwarf_info_reader continue to work for Dynobj as well
as Relobj.  That's not a major issue as a Dynobj presumably doesn't
need a reloc mapper.  But it seems that something is missing somewhere
here.
