Since this is PC-relative, I think this can be done, so I suspect that we simply need to fix gas so that when these relocations are generated internally that the backend performs the relocations itself. In principle it should not be that bad. How well does the latest snapshot of GAS work? Ken claims to have fixed things. -Eric
