It wouldn't, I wrote the wrong thing, I meant to write "It's a .text
relative relocation against .data to fixup..."
e.g.
elf/ld.so.1
section headers:
[17] .data PROGBITS 00021260 021260 002030 00 WA 0 0 4
.rela.dyn
00021278 00000101 R_PARISC_DIR32 00002410 .text + 1ee74
.symtab
253: 00021278 8216 OBJECT LOCAL DEFAULT 17 local

There is no way to know the runtime address of the structure, therefore
&local.boot_table should always result in a relocation. Until now PA's
been lucky about the ordering of the relocation processing.
Please consider the patch again.
Cheers,
Carlos.
