OK, since I had that in mind, too. I skipped it however since "manual" for me
smells like really some extra manual labour. 
But I guess any full descriptive term would be too long.
Fact is, that that sort of system wide "manual" reloc is needed for "initialized data
with pointer contents" only. It would be nice if that fact would peek out to
avoid conceptional misunderstandings.

Would it be possible for you to apply those 3 patches to a testing branch, I am
having an odd error trying to git-am patch 2/3, however I can find no wrongs in the
patch at the complained about places. 1/3 did apply without problems.

Best Regards,
Reinhard
