You are completely right.  For the purposes of this discussion, this
is a powerpc-centric problem.  The relocation code is written in
assembly and is processor specific.  Let the ARM folks make sure ARM
relocation works (and I think it already does).  Let the MIPS folks do
the same.  Each arch has it's own set of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS needed to
produce a sane binary.  They should be picked off and fixed one arch
at a time.

BTW, searching for assignments to reloc_off in the source will tell
you which platforms are broken.
