            Bug ID: 3392355
           Summary: nasm 2.12.02rc4 generates bad pc-relative relocations
                    to external symbols for macho32 target
           Product: NASM
           Version: 2.12.xx
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: Mac OS
            Status: OPEN
          Severity: normal

This is a refiling of bug 3392348.  The problem persists, and there is no way
for the bug's filer to reopen it.

- The code change in commit 84f6860ed53492976c9d79e9a8a0bdc60da78bc6 listing me
as the author is not the patch I attached in bug 3392348.

- The if condition "reltype == GENERIC_RELOC_VANILLA" cannot be satisfied as
even a cursory examination of the switch statment in add_reloc() and values of
the constants shows.  That modification does nothing.

- The only change left is the one in macho_write_section() which does not, by
itself, resolve the problem.  In fact, most pc-relative relocations are placed
in the .text section whose s->addr is zero.
