--- Comment #12 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
I believe my proposal addresses the shortcomings of your current
implementation.

Dropping the HUGE relocations (which only would serve the case of having an
exported non-HUGE symbol in its HUGE form, but HUGE pointer arithmetic requires
normalization logic anyway) would allow REL relocations to be used instead of
RELA, which would resolve the problem with EM_386 compatibility.
