If they are section relative, then there is no problem with relaxation
unless the init or fini sections change size, which I think is
unlikely to happen.  There is one disadvantage of section relative syms;
They cause their output section to be kept.  Hmm, I suppose we could
change that.  We might even be able to do without bfd_mark_used_section
entirely now that vma is set correctly for stripped output sections.
