gas should use a single BFD_RELOC_RELC.  (The BFD_RELOC_* numbering is
internal to BFD.)   This number could then be translated by each
backend bfd_reloc_type_lookup function to the appropriate howto.
Alternatively, you could do something clever in the generic code.
Store the target reloc in elf_backend_data, and stash that value into
a howto.
