I'm afraid this is a libc6-dev package bug, i.e. eglibc bug. They should 
update the elf.h file to include all ARM defined relocations. In the 
meantime your workaround is probably the only way to go forward but you 
should properly check if the rellocation is already defined or not 
otherwise you will probably get either warning or error about symbol 
redefinition once the eglibc's elf.h is fixed.
