This is old code you're looking at.  Best would be to look at current
code although this doesn't help here.

The algorithm is implemented in assembler (at the relocate_code label),
so understanding assembler a little bit will be a preliminary to
understanding unless you have access to a device which we in german call
a "Nürnberger Trichter" [its a mythical mechanical learning device] ;)
