Yes, I have a patch that appears to fix the relocation problem in
rsrc_nonstatic; I was hoping to find a fix for 410933, but those are
different relocation errors entirely and so far I haven't found enough
documentation of the relocation types to find the bug.
Anyway, for the non-SMP problem, the attached patch does the trick. I don't
expect it to make it into etch r0, but will certainly aim for it to be in
the first point release.
