Comment (by cjwatson):

 I'm not at all sure; it seems like the obvious candidate, but I don't know
 enough to be able to search the enormous haystack of changelogs for this
 particular needle.  I figured that GHC generally took the approach here of
 just implementing whichever relocations happened to be needed (the only
 additional ones I actually saw directly were R_PPC_REL16_HA and
 R_PPC_PLTREL24, in fact, but the other two were trivial to do at the same
 time).
