I've now fixed the RBR_26 problem - so the relocations now match IBM's
relocations exactly. This is in a fork here:
https://github.com/JamesReynolds/binutils-gdb

Unfortunately this was not the cause of exceptions not being caught. I think
something is mis-calculated in .gcc_except_table. However, I think this bug
could be closed if this change could be merged. I'll start the procedure for
that today.
