Yes, seems like an unrelated issue to me, or at least an unexplained one 
so far.

For instance, there is no fixup to BSS variables (they are to be 
initialized to 0 whatever the load address is, and this initialization 
is not in the binary, it is done in the startup code). So which fixup 
should be skipped exactly and how is is related to the BSS variable?
