Hi H.J.

Ideally not.  If I understand the code correctly the debug relocations
are just silently ignored.  They are not actually processed.  What I 
would really like, if possible, is for the linker to resolve the
relocations against the note section and update the section contents
appropriately.  (I think that the linker can assume a base address of 0
for these relocations).

Cheers
