> it just reports a dummy 0 field for the relocatable load address.
That's not quite correct. It displays the value that will be written to the object module. And this depends on the output format and the type of fixup that is created.
If you create the listing with OMF output format, the relative address will show up in the listing, for COFF it won't.
Admittedly it's sometimes usefull to see the relative offset of a variable - so perhaps this behavior will be changed in the future.
