I just saw this was pushed as commit daeda14191c1710ce967259a47ef4e0a3fb6eebf.

The addition of the generic elf_backend_is_rela_normal flag seems like
something a global maintainer should take a closer look at.
In particular, I'm curious if Alan, the author of the "rela_normal"
commit (b491616acb5462a3694160ffef6413c160fed10a), has any thoughts on
this.

The idea appears to be
(https://github.com/loongson/la-abi-specs/blob/release/laelf.adoc#:~:text=R_LARCH_ALIGN)

.text
break 1
.p2align 4, , 8  // R_LARCH_ALIGN .text+0x0804
break 8

In a relocatable link, the addend associated with the STT_SECTION
symbol is kept unchanged.

> But if the section of the local symbo is discarded, it may result in a undefined symbol error.

How does this happen when the R_LARCH_ALIGN relocation references
another local symbol instead of .text ?
