Ah, well.  So I figure these expressions /should/ be considered
absolute but aren't handled that way by gas, and your own workaround
for frequently used situations was to provide a private relocation
type instead.

we'll have to live with that issue unless someone steps forward who's
going to fix that as a whole.
