Looks roughly correct now and it's clear that it's not changing
anything about load order. Thanks!

Note that got[0] is still used later as the dynamic vector address,
but your patch does not set it correctly when the original value was
not the load-address-relative pointer to it...

This looks correct. I'm making some relatively minor cosmetic changes.
By the way, in the future please attach patches rather than sending
them inline so the tabs don't get ruined, lines don't get wrapped,
etc. Mail bodies are generally not patch-clean.

See the attached patch and let me know if it looks ok..
