It was probably me. But why can't you do this yourself? Look at the

I did search the assembler text and found the constant and relocation
(GOTOFF) is emitted by arm_assemble_integer. Unfortunately, by this
point the code to use that constant has already been emitted, and so
the decision of which relocation to use has already been made.
All I mean to say in this text, is that if a clueful person has the
knowledge in their head as to which file/function is responsible, it
might take that person 30 seconds and a one-line email to pass that
knowledge on to me, and save me a full day of guessing games.
