I think the best bet is to make -mrelocatable work for PPC. Question is how does the other arches do it? Do they include fixup ptrs by default or do they lack this functionality?

The question that needs to answered first is if any other architectures are affected at all, and if so, which ones.

For example, ARM and MIPS (and probably most others) do *NOT* perform any relocation at all (this should be fixed, of course - being one of the big probalems we inherited from the original ARMBoot port), but as is the whole discussion is a non-isssue on these architectures.
