This was to be expected whatever relocation method is used. Before 
relocation, board_init_f was running in the final memory mapping. Now it 
runs (as it should always have) in a limited C environment, with 
read-only globals, no BSS, only partial gd access... FTR, it hit my 
orion5x based edminiv2 too in places.

Ok.
