[Bug ld/370] New: bad output when linking to S-records

[michaelb at ieee dot org]

Running "make check" shows that the tests "S-records" and "S-records with 
constructors" fail, as the output files generated by linking to S-records 
differ from those generated by linking to ELF then performing an objcopy to 
S-records. 
 
Closer inspection of the output files generated in these tests indicates that 
when linking to S-records, various relocations seem to be performed incorrectly 
(verified this by diffing the S-record files and manually disassembling some of 
the contents around the differences). 
 
In particular, some of the 8 bit PC relative relocations (for branch 
instructions) seemed to be off by one, and the 24 bit relocations (for JSR 
instructions) seemed to have been done as 32 relocations, with the resolved 
address being written into 4 bytes instead of 3. This resulted in the first 
byte of the following instruction being clobbered.
