I'd expect it to break in GNU ld as that assumes that the sequence is emitted exactly. I've recently written that into the ABI in https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/pull/311 (not merged yet).

Putting it here, would be more a philosophical "this is a non trivial relocation" rather than something that would make a practical difference.
