 The code looks fine to me.

 I think it is safe to commit the code. The code in the patch will be
 called only if those relocations are actually present in an ELF object
 which is apparently the case on debian.

 If you like me to double check I could apply the patch to my local ghc
 package on openSUSE's build service and report back here.
