This is where we disagree.  I think all of .got should be relocated,
except for the header.  If I'm correct, then fixups for .got are
redundant and therefore just a waste of space.

The only exception I can think of are GOT entries for general dynamic
and local dynamic TLS, neither of which should be used in an embedded
executable.
