I see.  Well, I was already planning to use a call to a separate function
to do the message formatting and panic, just to consolidate the code for
all platforms.  The current code calls __assert_fail, with four arguments.
The bad-reloc-type panic function will need only two args (link_map and reloc),
so the code will be smaller.
