[RFA/Patch] sh64: R_SH_JMP_SLOT reloc. addend

["Stephen Clarke" <stephen dot clarke at earthling dot net>]

For sh64, the R_SH_JMP_SLOT and R_SH_JMP_SLOT64
dynamic relocations have the value of GOT_BIAS placed in
their addend.  The dynamic linker then has to take special care
NOT to add it in when calculating the relocation value.

Is there a reason for putting the GOT_BIAS in the addend?
If not, I suggest we put zero there instead, which means the
dynamic linker does not have to avoid the addend.

The attached file contains a patch to leave zero in the addend,
and an ld testsuite test for the value of the addend.

Steve.
