Nope.  The third loop (the one you're asking about) wasn't added with the 
above, but rather by commit 740bdc67c057 (also by Alan).  It contains 
testcase and justification.  (Hint: as last resort, and only then, a reloc 
is associated with a frag at the _end_ of section. frags can be 
var-length).

The testsuite is run (as usual with many GNU projects) with 'make check' 
after the appropriate configure and make steps.


Ciao,
Michael.
