* elf32-mips.c (mips_reloc_map): Add BFD_RELOC_MIPS_JALR. * elfxx-mips.c (JAL_TO_BAL_P): New define to transform JAL to BAL for CPUs. It is true for RM9000. (JALR_TO_BAL_P): New define to transform JALR to BAL. It is true for all CPUs. (mips_elf_perform_relocation): Use JAL_TO_BAL_P and JALR_TO_BAL_P to guard the transformation.
