Temporary patch for #619. I assume that
ADR
instructions are only generated for accesses to the data section, which seems to be true. I don't think it's a robust solution, but I don't see how to do it otherwise. Also, I believe we can't tell whether we can perform the relative access or not, so as to generate two instructions only when needed. The other options discussed in the issue didn't work, and I can't explain why.
