Ah well, this is what I should really do:  Get rid of END_RELOC_NUMBERS,
and make up a LAST_RELOC_NUMBER macro so that we could tack commas on the
end of the RELOC_NUMBER definition.  This would allow removal of the dummy
-1 valued enum (the one that needs the token pasting), and probably allow
gcc to optimise a little more.
