No I'm not sure. I'm not that experienced with these Unix binary formats. 
Its hard to find a good explanation for these on the web. All I know comes 
from sources on the web. I.e. at 
http://www.mcvax.org/~koen/uClinux-cisco2500/exotica.html it's written that 
uClinux on coldfire processor uses relocation table in the flat binary.
Also you can read at http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=elf 
about "relocation section". So I think ELF doesn't forget about this 
information.
Perhaps there are numerous different ELF variants? (Linux, FreeBSD, Sun,...)
