Suppose we have a relocation R. This relocation is in the .text section and refers a symbol in the .data section. Suppose that the .data section goes after the .text one. It is still a common case even if we forget about a linker script support. How will we write result of this relocation using a single pass approach? Will we know an address of the symbol in the .data section at the moment of writing the .text section?
