Treat ORG records as giving a signed offset from the current location.

Browse Source 
This is the way they are defined in the GS/OS Reference, as well as the way they seem to be used by all assemblers and all other linkers that I could check (ORCA/M, MPW AsmIIGS, Apple LinkIIGS, old ORCA/APW LINKED, 8-bit ORCA linker).

Previously, this linker treated ORG records as giving an absolute address to ORG to (but with a bug in the address computation). The OMF spec in appendix B of the ORCA/M manual defines them this way, but this is inconsistent with the spec in the GS/OS Reference and with the way ORG records are generated by ORCA/M itself (for an ORG *+expression directive). Therefore, I think this is just an error and the specification in the GS/OS Reference should be regarded as correct.

We still do not support going backward (using a negative ORG operand). Trying to do so will just give an error.

3. Fixed bug that caused EQU or GEQU expressions with non-constant
operands to be evaluated incorrectly.
4. The numeric value in an ORG record is now treated as a signed
offset from the current location, consistent with its
definition in the GS/OS Reference. However, negative offset
values are not supported and will produce an error.

The operand in an ORG record is a signed offset from the current location, not an absolute address. (This is consistent with the definition in the GS/OS Reference, and with the behavior of ORCA/M and other assemblers and linkers.)
