This is something that I always wanted to fix. The ARM implementation
is broken by design - unfortunately it has been also used  for  MIPS,
and  other  architectures.  It  would  be  much better if we had real
relocation to a (dynamically determined) address on ARM too,  instead
of such a fixed mapping.
