Link-time relaxations of branches are common for MSP430, given that GCC
can generate pessimal branch instructions, and the
-mcode-region=either/-mdata-region=either options to shuffle sections
can further change the type of branch instruction required.
These relaxations can result in invalid code when .uleb128
directives, used in the .gcc_except_table section, are used to calculate
the distance between two labels. A value for the .uleb128 directive is
calculated at assembly-time, and can't be updated at link-time, even if
relaxation causes the distance between the labels to change.
This patch adds relocations for subtract expressions in .uleb128
directives, to allow the linker to re-calculate the value of these
expressions after relaxation has been performed.
