 * @brief RTEMS Run-Time Linker Object File Unresolved Relocations Table.
 *
 * The unresolved relocation table holds relocations in a loaded object file
 * which reference unresolved external symbols. The support is needed to allow
 * dependent object files to load. In the case of dependent object files one
 * will have unresolved externals until the dependent object file is also
 * loaded. There is no load order that resolves this.
 *
 * The unresolved relocation table is a single table used by all object files
 * with unresolved symbols. It made of blocks linked together where blocks are
 * allocated as requiered. The table is always maintained compacted. That is as
 * relocations are resolved and removed the table is compacted. The only
 * pointer in the table is the object file poniter. This is used to identify
 * which object the relocation belongs to. There are no linking or back
 * pointers in the unresolved relocations table. The table is scanned for each
 * object file's relocations. This is not fast but the table should be small
 * and if it happens to grow large you have other more pressing issues to
 * resolve in your application.
 *
 * The table holds two (2) types of records:
 *
 *  # Symbol name strings.
 *  # Relocations.
 *
 * The symbol name a relocation references is held in a specific symbol name
 * string record in the table the relocation record references. The record
 * counts the number of references and the string is removed from the table
 * when the reference count reaches 0. There can be many relocations
 * referencing the symbol. The strings are referenced by a single 16bit
 * unsigned integer which is the count of the string in the table.
 *
 * The section the relocation is for in the object is the section number. The
 * relocation data is series of machine word sized fields:
 *
 * # Offset in the section.
 * # Relocation info (format specific)
 * # Additional format specific data.
