Yeah, that was my thinking. It's used for global addressing in  
position independent code (it's a symbol in the middle of the .got  
section that shared libraries put into a register to index off of in  
shared libraries), so I'll have to sort it out with the linker  
scripts that puts together the final linking of an executable, I  
guess. I get to learn more about x86 dynamic linking than I ever  
wanted. :)
