A .byte expression should generate an R_ARC_8 and not an R_ARC_32 as is
generated
currently.Similary .2byte and .3byte directives should generate R_ARC_16 and
R_ARC_24 directives and not R_ARC_32 as is generated currently. The .byte ,
.2byte and .3byte directives work in spaces less than 4 bytes so generating a
R_ARC_32 is incorrect in such a case.
.section .data
. = 0x10
.byte .L1
;; .2byte .L2
.3byte .L3
.L1:
.4byte 0
.L2:
.4byte 1
.L3:
.4byte 2
.section .text
start :
mov r0,0
generates a reloc of the following format.
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.data]:
OFFSET TYPE VALUE
00000010 R_ARC_32 .data
00000011 R_ARC_32 .data
With the .2byte directive the assembler gives an internal error.

/home/ramana/tmp/try.s:4: Error: internal error: can't export reloc type 5
