Definitely not. That's why we trampoline between them. But since we discard the init sections and the tramps with them, I wouldn't bother uniquifing them: just alloc that many. > Also, do you know what we see in r_info for a relocation that is > relative to a section rather than a symbol? Can't remember off the top of my head, sorry.
