Nak -- what we want to overlay is .bss on one hand, and .rel.dyn *plus* 
.dynsym on the other hand; OVERLAY { ... } does not allow this.

Also, this change modifies the mapping, so if mi makes an obvious bug 
disappear, it may be only because the resulting u-boot corrupts 
relocation now in a less obvious way.

Amicalement,
