Fix a commit 6afe8e98a6 ("internal error for backwards .org"),
<https://www.sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-06/msg00212.html>,
GAS regression that caused legitimate code to fail assembly with an
"attempt to move .org backwards" error.
For example with the `mips-linux' target we get:
$ cat org.s
.set mips16
la $2, foo
.org 0x1000
.align 2
foo:
.half 0
$ as -o org.o org.s
org.s: Assembler messages:
org.s:3: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
$
where the location pointer is obviously not moved backwards with `.org'.
The cause is positive `stretch' in relaxation due to a PC-relative ADDIU
instruction (produced from the LA macro used) getting expanded from 2 to
4 bytes as `foo' is noticed to be out of range for the short encoding.
This in turn triggers logic in `relax_segment' which concludes in the
processing of an `rs_org' frag produced that the location pointer is
moved backwards while in fact only the amount to space forward to the
location requested has shrunk, resulting in a negative growth of the
frag.
Correct the bad logic then and instead verify that the fixed part of an
`rs_org' frag has not overrun the location requested, as per the comment
already included with the error message:
/* Growth may be negative, but variable part of frag
cannot have fewer than 0 chars. That is, we can't
.org backwards. */
which accurately describes the regression scenario. Move the comment
ahead the conditional noted, for clarity.
Add generic and MIPS test cases for the `.org' pseudo-op, including the
test case discussed though not integrated with the offending commit in
particular, adjusted to work across all targets.
