I think that I might have located a bug in the srecord backend, which shows up,
if multiple object files are linked for a 2 octets-per-byte architecture with
the output format srecord. In my case, the address offset of the second text
section was 2*n instead of n.

I hunted problem down to "srec_set_section_contents" at bfd/srec.c:905

   entry->where = section->lma + offset;

The unit of "entry->where" is assumed to be BYTES (see "srec_write_section").
I guess the unit of "section->lma" should be BYTES too.
The unit of "offset" appears to be OCTETS (see "default_indirect_link_order").
