Err, well, in ELF it's R_MIPS_GNU_REL16_S2.

Personally, I'd prefer we not go down the road of keeping this
extension alive.  However, since you've expressed interest in doing so
(at least for ELF):

Does that mean that you'd like me to resurrect the support for
relaxing MIPS_R_PCREL16 at link time in ECOFF?

(I hope not.  i originally GC'd it.  then i thought twice about that
part, and put it back in.  then i went and removed it again.  8-)
