Hmm, OK.  ld.so won't do the reloc for gdb though, will it?  So gdb
will need to be quite clever about symbol resolution.  No reason not
to emit the relocs though, except to reduce file size.

My recollection is that there was some question over whether it is
correct to emit debug section relocs for stabs, and that's why many
binutils targets don't emit debug relocs.  Ian?
