I'm curious to know what the difference was.  ELF scripts set the
output section vma to zero (${RELOCATING-0}) for ld -r, and we also
set it to zero for orphans in lang_insert_orphan.  If setting to zero
at the beginning didn't work, then you may have a problem with
orphans.

This:
	    if (link_info->relocatable)
	      os->addr_tree = exp_intop (0);
before the first use of addr_tree in lang_size_sections_1 ought to
good for all targets.
