Oh, this check should not be here, right? I think it needs to be under 'if
(reloc->external) {'.

And

if (reloc->sympos && (reloc->sympos != 1)) {

can be written as

if (reloc->sympos > 1) {

Anyway, I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. I know Petr
suggested it, but maybe it would be sufficient just to error out when
reloc->sympos is specified for external symbols. Despite there is a valid
value (== 1). Like it had been done before. Josh came up with the issue.
So what is your opinion, Josh? It is a nitpick, but nevertheless.
