dxe3gen does not handle extended relocations, i.e. STYP_NRELOC_OVFL
set in hdr->s_flags: it still takes hdr->s_nreloc as number of relocs
and ends up generating a broken dxe which leads to bad crashes when
loaded.  We have one such c++ project where s_nreloc does overflow.

I will be trying a few things with this, but I'd appreciate help or
advice or links too:  How should I read the actual number of relocs?
Would our current dlopen() still work with this?
