In the linker I built _bfd_generic functions are called from linker.c file
(correct ELF file is generated, though). 
Did I miss something in configuration?
In the linker I built _bfd_generic_link_output_symbols function is called 
before from _bfd_input sections merged into output section. That's why I asked when 
final symbol value adjustment is done.

Thanks,
