I don't know how to put it clearer than with Ian's example.  If
the assembler doesn't emit a relocation for those expressions,
linker relaxation will not work, unless the linker actually
parses the format of the data in that section.

Seems like a clue that the assembler didn't emit relocations
where it must, for linker relaxation.
