I've attached an updated patch with the following changes:
- "GNU" used in new reloc names
- uleb128 write function moved to bfd/libbfd.c
- uleb128 write function takes an end pointer argument and will not
  overwrite memory beyond this
- relocated uleb128 value is "right aligned" within the available space

Successfully re-tested the patch.

Ok to apply?

Thanks,
Jozef

Subject: [PATCH] MSP430: Support relocations for subtract expressions in
 .uleb128 directives

Link-time relaxations of branches are common for MSP430, given that GCC
can generate pessimal branch instructions, and the
-mcode-region=either/-mdata-region=either options to shuffle sections
can further change the type of branch instruction required.

These relaxations can result in invalid code when .uleb128
directives, used in the .gcc_except_table section, are used to calculate
the distance between two labels. A value for the .uleb128 directive is
calculated at assembly-time, and can't be updated at link-time, even if
relaxation causes the distance between the labels to change.

This patch adds relocations for subtract expressions in .uleb128
directives, to allow the linker to re-calculate the value of these
expressions after relaxation has been performed.
