the mach-o ld wants relocs to be listed in reverse order, and the  
native 'as' does this.

Here is (Tristan's) code to do this.

To this are added my modifications to the test-suite to deal with  
tests that are expecting relocs in normal order.

We skip those tests in the normal places and duplicate reversed  
versions in gas/mach-o (which also serve as a good check of the  
reversal process).  New tests attached, modified ones in-line.

OK?
Iain
