I don't quite understand the issue, or the case that your current patch
changes. However, it doesn't fix that the linker provides the symbols
too late for the backend to do anything about the allocated dynamic
reloc.

The best patch so far has been to move the provide earlier.

Failing that I am forced to use a relaxation handler to save space by
remove the relocs.
