Several elf_machine_rel_relative routines have the types wrong.
I'm currently testing a patch which among other things uses
separate elf_machine_rel_relative and elf_machine_rela_relative
which a) makes it obvious what types should be used
b) makes it possible for arches to support both types of relocs
(e.g. prelink needs this on i386).
