That'd be at least part of it, but I'd still prefer not forbidding them
altogether, but also not requiring an implementation to support
them (just to repeat it - in a long abandoned new OS of ours we
had ignored the forbidding, and allowed REL in relocatable objects
[which were the only objects used there, the loadable ones
distinguished from "normal" ones by the presence of some OS-
specific data structures], with the static linker picking the type
depending on the module's needs).
