On many architectures gcc and clang will recognize _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - .
and produce a relocation that can be processed without needing to know the
value of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. This is not always the case; for example ARM
gcc produces R_ARM_BASE_PREL but clang produces the more general
R_ARM_REL32 to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. To evaluate this relocation
correctly _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ must be defined to be the either the base of
the GOT or end of the GOT dependent on architecture..

If/when llvm-mc is changed to recognize _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - . this
change will not be necessary for new objects. However there may still be
old objects and versions of clang.
