The following comment from elf64-sparc.c explains why this patch is needed
for elf64-alpha.c:
case R_SPARC_UA16:
/* When creating a shared object, we must copy these relocs
into the output file. We create a reloc section in
dynobj and make room for the reloc.
But don't do this for debugging sections -- this shows up
with DWARF2 -- first because they are not loaded, and
second because DWARF sez the debug info is not to be
biased by the load address. */
