While documented to not be reliable, it is still odd for objcopy to
silently produce bad output when converting COFF/PE object files to ELF
ones. The issue there is that relocation addends all are screwed up by
subtracting the symbol's section offset. In the COFF/PE world, to my
knowledge, section contents stores the addends alone, not the result of
symbol value plus addend. Hence the compensation talked about in a
comment ahead of the sole use site of CALC_ADDEND() may need to account
for the VMA (which is always zero for object files anyway), but not for
the symbol value.
The coff-sh.c adjustment is based upon guessing that behavior there is
the same. Note also how coff-aarch64.c short-circuits CALC_ADDEND()
altogether, which may suggest that a much simpler macro might do for the
COFF_WITH_PE case in the three arch-specific files touched here.
For (at least) Arm/WinCE this actually results in more appropriate
objdump output as well, as can be seen in the one testcase which has its
expectations adjusted (the generated binary doesn't change).
