i wasn't sure about what it is used for, and since your original code 
increased it, i just did the same.
your new code now does not use "got" anywhere.
if that's ok, maybe (void) it; so that the compiler does not warn about 
unused parameters...

your patch looks ok and works well here, with both ld and gold and even 
with LD_PRELOAD.
unsure about PIE though.
