OK, I have uploaded a copy.

That would mean creating a separate path in the BFD
library for reloc processing when stripping debug sections
which would add to the complexity.  If we can fix the bug
you found then the current code can still be used because
it does not remove any relocations, it just tries to 
simplify one special case.  And if we do not simplify
complex relocs then everything should work.

Cheers
