H8 assembler generates incorrect relocation entries.


Hi,
	The references into the .text section 
	from the DWARF debug_line and debug_info section
	are not correct when starting address is greater then
	2 bytes. This happens for target h8300 only.

Execution Steps:
	1.) modified ldscript h8300elf.x so that the start
	    address is greater then 2 bytes.
	$ diff -c3p
/home/niting/venkat/gcc_release/h8300-elf/tools/h8300-elf/lib/ldscripts/h830
0elf.x myh8300elf.x

	  {
	    /* Read-only sections, merged into text segment: */
	!   . = 0x100;
	    .interp         : { *(.interp) }
	    .hash           : { *(.hash) }
	    .dynsym         : { *(.dynsym) }

	  SECTIONS
	  {
	    /* Read-only sections, merged into text segment: */
	!   . = 0x200200;
	    .interp         : { *(.interp) }
	    .hash           : { *(.hash) }
	    .dynsym         : { *(.dynsym) }

	2.) Compiled and Linked the Hello World program
	     in "C" with this ldscript for target=h8300 (default
	     options)
	$h8300-elf-gcc -T myh8300elf.x hello.c

	3.) Found the the text references from debug_line
	     and debug_info only contain lower 16 bits of the
	     address. Can be conformed with 
	$readelf -wil a.out

The Problem:
	The assembler seems to be the culprit. Because the 
	relocation entries generated for reference into text 
	section from DWARF sections are of type R_H8_DIR16 
	whereas the .text section starting address is 
	something greater then 0x200200. 

I'm looking into the problem. Meanwhile sending this to
seek your opinion.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Nitin.
