[Bug ld/3243] New: Mips R_MIPS_16 relocation incorrectly handled

[navlrac at hotmail dot com]

R_MIPS_16 is incorrectly handled when at a half-word offset:

See below:

00000000 <structure>:
   8:   00000001        movf    zero,zero,$fcc0
   c:   00000130        tge     zero,zero,0x4
        ...
                        10: R_MIPS_32   kdebug_init()
                        14: R_MIPS_32   kdebug_entry(void*)
                        50: R_MIPS_32   _memory_descriptors_offset
                        56: R_MIPS_16   _memory_descriptors_size
  a4:   0000003f        0x3f


After linking, the values that should be at offset 0x56, is actually placed at
0x60 in the elf output.
