Brandon isn't trying to run the code on the 89, but rather another 68k
platform that doesn't use this relocation table.  On that platform,
execution address is guaranteed to be the same every time (as on some of
TI's z80 calcs), so having the org directive work _would_ be useful to him.
But how do you get a68k to do it?
