[PATCH] i386: Warn upon absolute relocations being present

Browse source

o Relocations generated w.r.t absolute symbols are not processed as by
  definition, absolute symbols are not to be relocated. Explicitly warn
  user about absolutions relocations present at compile time.

o These relocations get introduced either due to linker optimizations or
  some programming oversights.

o Also create a list of symbols which have been audited to be safe and
  don't emit warnings for these.
