But then, as soon as the first @GOT relocation appears, the pointer
will no longer be NULL, since it will have to start pointing at the
array of fancy relocation symbols.  And then, we'll no longer be able
to easily tell it's a regular symbol.  And, for the fancy ones, we'd
have to store the suffix type somewhere.
