How do I do it in such a way that I only have to do it for the mips
assembler? Is 1 a valid mips addend? If 1 is not a valid mips addend,
I can do

bfd_reloc_status_type
_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc (...)
{
  if (output_bfd != (bfd *) NULL 
      && (symbol->flags & BSF_SECTION_SYM) == 0
      && (! reloc_entry->howto->partial_inplace
          || reloc_entry->addend == 0))
    {
      reloc_entry->address += input_section->output_offset;
      return bfd_reloc_ok;
    }

  if (reloc_entry->addend == 1)
    reloc_entry->addend = 0;

  return bfd_reloc_continue;
}

If 1 is a valid mips addend, is there some value I can use?

Thanks.
