Are you saying that that's the behaviour of an existing linker? If so, this change is fine with me. Otherwise we need to be careful because if there is a dynamic loader out there that only supports `R_*_IRELATIVE` in `.rel[a].plt` and not in `.rel[a].dyn` on some architecture (basically the inverse of the situation that you discovered), your change would break that dynamic loader on that architecture.
