Yes, this is correct. Blame it on me - I just don't  know  if  it  is
possible to make GC add the relevant entries to the GOT, and how.

There are a few comments in  the  source  code  (like:  "We  have  to
relocate  the command table manually" in lib_ppc/board.c) but without
much explanation.

Feel free to submit a patch to improve this.

Best regards,
