It seems works fine with RELA archs, at least mips64.

For example, set_up_list3s is correctly reported.

WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x26358) and 'cache_reap'

Here is excerpt from readelf output.  Addend value 0x21d8 matches
st_value of its target symbol.
