    x86, relocs: More relocations which may end up as absolute · c54a354c
    H. Peter Anvin authored
    GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from
    section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length.
    This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute
    symbols.  Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as
    relative symbols.
    
    This bug is exposed by checkin
    
    433de739 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool
    
    only in the sense that that checkin changes the relocs tool to report
    an error instead of silently generating a kernel which is broken if
    relocated.
