The assembly does all kinds of weird stuff: jumping to .text symbols,
referencing .rodata symbols.  But even when I discarded all references
to read-only symbols from the asm, the lib still was flagged as TEXTREL.
There are still lots of relocations to read-write symbols in .data and
.bss.  They end up as R_386_32 relocations.  Am I right in assuming that
I'd have to clean those up as well?
