Greetings!

I think this needs appending to h/elf32_arm_reloc.h:

#define R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC 43
    case R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC:
      s+=a;
/*      if (ELF_ST_TYPE(sym->st_info)==STT_FUNC) s|=1;*/
      s&=0xffff;
/*      s=((s>>12)&0xf)|(((s>>11)&0x1)<<10)|((s&0xff)<<16)|(((s>>8)&0x7)<<28);*/
      add_vals(where,~0L,s);
      break;

I'd like to check this though.  Is there a way I can instruct gcc in a
sid/Debian system to emit these relocs?

I wish I knew.  I do NOT get these relocs on Fedora 17:

gcc-4.7.2-2
binutils-2.22.52.0.1-10

but do get them on (what will soon be) Fedora 18:

gcc-4.7.2-3
binutils-2.23.51.0.1-3

The changes from gcc-4.7.2-2 to gcc-4.7.2-3 don't appear to me to have anything to do with this, so it must be the binutils change that triggered creation of this reloc.  My knowledge of Debian is pretty thin, I'm afraid.  I don't know how you get a newer binutils there.
