As I said, I think this might require significant work.

Consider this code:

	ldr	r0, 2f
	...

2:	.word	0xc0ffee

Now, as it stands the assembler will resolve the label and convert the LDR 
into a constant PC-relative instruction without emitting a reloc.  If that 
code happens to cross a page boundary then the linker has no way to know that 
it now has to fix up the LDR when it inserts the NOP.
