I don't know about that.

What might work is to drop the shifting from the field definition and
create your own md_apply_fix function something like this,
void
md_apply_fix (fixS *fixP, valueT *valP, segT seg)
{
if (fixP->fx_done
&& fixP->fx_r_type == BFD_RELOC_UNUSED + OPERAND_ID_OF_BRANCH)
{
gas_assert (fixP->fx_addsy == NULL);
gas_assert (fixP->fx_subsy == NULL);
*valP >>= 2;
}
gas_cgen_md_apply_fix (fixP, valP, seg);
}
Good luck!
