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. bfd/ChangeLog: * bfd-in2.h (bfd_reloc_code_real): Add BFD_RELOC_MSP430_{SET,SUB}_ULEB128. * elf32-msp430.c (msp430_elf_ignore_reloc): New.
