Yeah, it doesn't work with VxWorks, because it hard-codes the assumption
that relocation symbols must be in the global GOT. I came up with one
fix for that, but wanted to experiment with a second fix as well.
VxWorks has bitrotted quite a bit anyway, so I ended up trying to fix
the bitrot first. In the end I ran out of time. I hope to return to it
this weekend though.
