The only problem I've seen with this patch is that it now over-allocates
relocations for the GOT. gdop_relative_offset_ok is only used after the GOT has
been allocated, so any slots which are for objects "near" the GOT will be
unused and end up as R_SPARC_NONE's padding the end of the GOT. For sparc32 we
could add extra checks in allocate_dynrelocs to precisely determine whether
gdop_relative_offset_ok will return TRUE for that symbol (as the entire address
space is reachable with a 32-bit offset from the GOT), but for sparc64 we can't
in general know if a symbol will be reachable or not that early.
