The patch below creates the necessary relocs so that no forwarding
structs end up in the dump.

I'm not so optimistic.  The first collection is very slow:

   time ./emacs -batch -f igc--collect
   
   real    0m12.555s
   user    0m11.708s
   sys     0m0.097s

That's not good.  Maybe there is some unfixed problem that is causing
this slowness, but it could also be that MPS simply is so slow for this
allocation pattern.
