R_IA64_PCREL21B, R_IA64_PCREL21BI, R_IA64_PCREL21M and R_IA64_PCREL21F
can fail if the input section is too big. Users get

foo.o(.text+0x1000072): In function `main':
foo.c: relocation truncated to fit: PCREL21B against symbol `foo'
defined in .text section in foo.o
/usr/local/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on
output

and they may think it is a linker error. This patch changes it to

./ld: foo.o: Can't relax br (PCREL21B) in section `.text' with size
0x10000b0 (> 0x1000000).
./ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi Jim,

I just noticed a relaxation bug. We won't relax


foo:
	huge text
	br foo

since branch and target are in the same section. We can relax backward
branch in this case. Also we do &h->root without checking if h is NULL.
The updated patch fixes both problems.

So?  (char *) h == (char *) &h->root

You updated the patch to remove the h check, but you forgot to update
the ChangeLog entry.

OK with that change.
