I am really not aware of the AVR ABI / Relocation types and have not
spent time looking at your relaxations patch. However to add BFD
relocations this is what you need to do . 

You would have to make the changes in reloc.c , do a make headers after
configuring bfd with --enable-maintainer mode . If you are planning to
add new ELF relocation types , these would be R_AVR_* then the changes
need to go into include/elf/avr.h . 

Ofcourse Remember to provide a mapping between the BFD reloc types and
R_AVR in bfd/elf32-avr.c (a quick look at the sources reveals
avr_reloc_map to have this mapping. )
