Good for you :)

One could ban these in all of u-boot too. The relocation would
be much simpler for those arch's lacking -mrelocatable.

I suspect there are some low hanging fruits to be picked too:
 char *mystr = "hello"
can often be rewritten as
 char mystr[] = "hello"
which won't cause fixups and smaller code too.
