_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is a predefined symbol that the linker defines to be in the middle of the -fpic GOT table. It marks the end of the GOT table as far as we are concerned(u-boot does not generate so many relocs that the linker needs to use the space above _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_)
There is no predefined symbol that marks the start of fpic relocs so one is added(_GOT_TABLE_) by me to the linker script.
Maybe call it _GOT_START_ or similar? _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ and _GOT_TABLE_[1] look like synonyms.
