Proposed patch

Hi Stas,

  Please can you try out this patch ?

  The issue is that the relocation processing code is noticing that
  the symbols involved in the problematic relocations are absolute
  and have a value of zero.  So in theory they can just be discarded.
  For normal relocations this is OK, but for complex relocations it
  is not safe, since the symbol itself might be significant.

  So the patch tweaks the reloc processing code so that it will not
  drop the symbol in complex relocs.

Cheers
  Nick
