Hi Nick,

No specific reason. These macros are defined with unique values. I will set with 
0x1 for both macros appropriately.

OK. I will correct it.

OK. I will correct typos and replace C++ style comment with C style.

Code caused here broken the expected behavior, so it was commented for now and 
it will be fixed in future.

OK. I will update the texi file.

OK. I will append the new relocs instead of insert.

Once again thanks for your detailed comments/suggestions. I will update and 
submit for review soon.
