Right, it makes no sense to produce a dynamic relocation for a reference
from a !SEC_ALLOC section, as it won't be relocated at run time anyway.

Can the bfd/elfxx-mips.c part of commit 21d790b94321 ("MIPS/BFD: Don't
make debug section relocs dynamic"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-09/msg00216.html>, be reverted
as a part of your change?  I suspect it might become dead code now.
