Yes, but I have one thing to mention. This test does only detect writing
to BSS values in one of the init_sequence[] functions.

In my case I detected arch/arm/cpu/arm920t/at91/timer.c as faulty. But I
still have some issues booting at91rm9200ek from NOR flash. None of the
init_sequence[] functions writes to a BSS value in that case ... So if
the 'corrupted .dyn.rel' thing is my problem in NOR booting case
.dyn.rel got corrupted before board_init_f() or by some other function
call between for loop of init_sequence[] and relocate_code() ... I don't
know if I get this until release of v2010.12.

Maybe another maintainer is more lucky ...
