I added "as specified in the processor-specific ABI":

R_*_IRELATIVE

      This relocation is similar to R_*_RELATIVE except that the
      value used in this relocation is the program address returned
      by the function, which takes no arguments, at the address of
      the result of the corresponding R_*_RELATIVE relocation as
      specified in the processor-specific ABI.
