ARM: Add local symbols in relocate_kernel.S to work around gas bugs
In rare cases, gas is unable to fix up references to global symbols in the same object when building for Thumb-2. This patch provides a dirty temporary workaround and shouldn't be merged upstream. The issue affects at least ubuntu/linaro binutils (2.20.51.20100908-0ubuntu2) and binutils upstream. Allegedly, there's a fix in the pipeline. Since this patch works around a known toolchain bug, it is not expected to merge upstream. Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org>
