I think it'd be better to avoid that if possible and have the IPLT entries
use .igot.plt instead.  Entries in .got proper can be a bit of a scarce
resource in larger links.  Using .igot.plt would also avoid having to
deal with the interaction between these entries and multigot, which believe
me would be a good thing :-)

How are you going to deal with IRELATIVE entries in the primary
(ABI-defined) GOT?  Are there going to be a new set of dynamic tags to mark
out an IRELATIVE area, separate from the normal local and global areas?

Thanks,
