Hm.. at least on RISC-V I had no problems with
relocate_to_current_adr(). Also checking the ARM relocation code does
not show why the header should be a problem if
relocate_to_current_adr() is used.

Thanks for the explanation.

I noticed that I had a fixup patch ontop of my image generation tool,
which I attached.
