When adding

to helloworld.c outside of a function and then referring to the variable in a function the pointer the reference is incorrect. This is due to not considering the generated relocations.

Fix the linker script and the PE-COFF header.

Debugging shows that function _relocate() finds a pointer to .rela.data and then uses this for the self relocation.

Do this .rela.data should not be in .reloc but in .text.
