Heh. I suspect you'll find it easier not using BFD. The trouble is
that bfd_perform_relocation relies on reloc "howto" structures being
able to completely describe how a relocation acts. That is difficult
on some targets, so "howto"s tend not to be used by some of the BFD
back-end linkers. What support there is for "howto"s on those
targets in patchy at best.
As to the specifics of ARM support for bfd_perform_relocation, I'll
leave that to one of the ARM maintainers to comment.
