Grr, ignore that last response.  Unless you're interested in the answer
to the above question wrt the *second* problem you posted.  ;-P

R_SPARC_WDISP30 is a direct call relocation.  If you'd used either pic
option the compiler would have generated R_SPARC_WPLT30.

My answer wrt why this doesn't happen for 32-bit mode still applies.
