Tell me more.  Apparently both you and Chris can reproduce this, but I
can't:

Relocation section '.rel.got' at offset 0x294 contains 2 entries:
 Offset     Info    Type            Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name
0001068c  00000615 R_ARM_GLOB_DAT        000084e0  foo           

This is using the 2.12 branch.  Maybe it's something introduced in HJ's
versions?
