My initial guess (not wanting to spend time analyzing this but
having experience doing similar) is that there's a bug in
h8_elf_howto_table.

Why?  Because when linking to ELF, elf32_h8_relocate_section
(elf32_h8_final_link_relocate) is used, but when linking to
another format, the information h8_elf_howto_table is used.
