This reverts commit d9ff8b3e687a0ec56cac6463ba01ba7775eccd41.

It is not that simple:

Ok, so this "cmplwi cr0, rX, ppc_exc_lock_std@sdarel" is illegal,

ppc_exc_lock_std@sdarel is signed and the immediate is unsigned

assembler doesn't issue a warning about this.

Exists there a way to rescue this cmplwi hack without relaxing the

checks?

Hm, sorry, it was surprisingly simple. This works:

"cmplwi cr0, rX, ppc_exc_lock_std@sdarel@l"

I was not aware that you can add several @ in a row.

That is the wrong thing to use here. sdarel@l translates to a VLE
reloc which applies to a split 16-bit field in VLE insns.

You want

cmpwi cr0, rX, ppc_exc_lock_std@sdarel

to properly compare a 16-bit signed number from sym@sdarel.

Note that the assembler does error if you write something like

cmplwi 3,-30000

or

cmpwi 3,40000

so what the linker is now doing is extending this behaviour to link
time.
