Ok, I'll stop the chest-beating now. But please stop trying to tell people that adding a powerpc-specific option (which nobody seems to know how really works) to the command line will work on any other architectures than powerpc.
You are completely right. For the purposes of this discussion, this is a powerpc-centric problem. The relocation code is written in assembly and is processor specific. Let the ARM folks make sure ARM relocation works (and I think it already does). Let the MIPS folks do the same. Each arch has it's own set of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS needed to produce a sane binary. They should be picked off and fixed one arch at a time.
BTW, searching for assignments to reloc_off in the source will tell you which platforms are broken.
