So I guess the right thing to do is relocate the dynamic stuff via
PT_DYNAMIC, and relocate the symtab if its present.
Symtab should also be deduced from program headers.
Learning more all the time..
I'm actually surprised this got re-implemented from scratch, when my patch
already had both variants (one just #ifdef-ed out), and was tested in both
forms (actually, I first implemented the ELF form, and only after seeing the
bloat it added to the sources I came up her than with the second variant, which
in
the end unfortunately didn't add significantly less bloat to the Makefile.
This wasn't re-implemented from scratch - I did this in another lifetime:

Either way of doing things is fine with me - I would just prefer that if
it has to get down and dirty, we do it in source rather than hidden in a
makefile. But just a personal preference.
