... and we're talking about a code offset within a tiny translation
unit, with both reference and referenced address within the same
section.  It would be very surprising if the offset got up to 2KB, let
alone 2GB ;-)

The reason the testcase even mentions absolute addresses AFAICT is not
that it wishes to use them, it's that there's no portable way to use
PC-relative addresses on IA-32 (*), so the test gives up on platforms
that mandate PIC and goes with absolute addressing there.  I'm pretty
sure if it had a choice it would happily use PC-relative addressing,
even with a reasonably short range, if that was readily available...

(*) Something like 'call 1f; 1: popl %0; leal $foo-1b(%0), %0' is the
closest to widely available I'm aware of, but the '1f/1b' notation is
only available with GNU as AFAIK.
