Use of .long with a symbolic operand is already in multiple
places in ld-testsuite so I think that's sufficient.
(BTW, the problem with the ERROR seems to be that
default_ld_assemble calls perror, which it shouldn't, because
perror notes in errcnt that the test run had errors, so there
result will not be just a harmless UNRESOLVED. This effect can
seemingly be kludgingly reversed by "decr errcnt" in the caller
but rather not; better to fix default_ld_assemble. Later.)
