Sorry for the late reply, let me try to explain it.

R_LARCH_ADD32 relocation type is 32-bit label addition,
R_LARCH_SUB32 relocation type is 32-bit label subtraction,
they are intended for local labels, the label difference
will be calculated as a constant before linking, preserve
a pair of R_LARCH_ADD32 and R_LARCH_SUB32 to fix the label
difference.

Here is a simple example:
-------------------------------
.L0
// do something
.L1

.data
.word .L0 - .L1
-------------------------------

NewDiff = 0
R_LARCH_ADD32:
NewDiff = NewDiff + .L0_Addr
R_LARCH_SUB32:
NewDiff = NewDiff - .L1_Addr

I discussed offline with the engineers who are familiar with gnu
assembler of LoongArch, maybe it can modify the gnu assembler
to use R_LARCH_32_PCREL to replace a pair of R_LARCH_ADD32 and
R_LARCH_SUB32, then I will test it again and drop this change if
possible.

Here is LoongArch ELF Relocations spec:
https://github.com/loongson/la-abi-specs/blob/release/laelf.adoc

R_LARCH_ADD32
32-bit in-place addition
*(int32_t *) PC += S + A

R_LARCH_SUB32
32-bit in-place subtraction
*(int32_t *) PC -= S + A

R_LARCH_32_PCREL
32-bit PC relative
(*(uint32_t *) PC) = (S+A-PC) [31 ... 0]

Thanks very much for your review comments, it is helpful to
make progress in the right direction.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
