Yes, I see one.  Randolph Chung has the gcc patch to allow building
libjava.  Something must have changed in the last month or so to cause
this.  I was a bit surprised that the reloc survived this late in the
link but didn't have a huge amount of time to investigate.

I know there is a somewhat similar problem with PLABEL32 relocs
and linkonce sections.

to allow you to burn a few pa cycles.
