I guess you really, really must use i2c before relocation?  If
possible, this should be avoided in the first place.

No, this is justy hiding the problem, and the next one who believes
the value doesn't fit and changes it back to 0 runs into the issue
again.  Rather use an explicit

	int foo __attribute__ ((section(".data"))) = 0;

so everybody sees the real intention.

Best regards,
