Hmm.  Remind me of which of your test-cases shows the explosion, and
I'll investigate further.  It will probably take me into next week to
get a chance to look at this, but I will do so.

The original code as under-allocating GOT space; it was assuming that
certain relocations would always have the same GOT entry, when there's
no reason that they should.  I'll look for a way to find a middle
ground.
