I'll take this fix except for removing __got_start and num_got_entries.
I know you want to make it work whether __got_start is out of alignment
or not, but that is a little mess. We should fix num_got_entries part
instead, and update GOT entries using _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ and
num_got_entries. This is easily understandable and straight forward :-)

I've submitted patches. Plase review.

thanks,
