I think this can happen when relocating the stubs.
Actually I am making some tests around arm_build_one_stub(), where you 
can read this comment [not sure who wrote it]:

/* Note: _bfd_final_link_relocate doesn't handle these relocations
   properly.  We should probably use this function unconditionally,
   rather than only for certain relocations listed in the enclosing
   conditional, for the sake of consistency.  */

Thus I am trying to call elf32_arm_final_link_relocate, and I am facing 
the problem mentioned above.
