Code compiled with `-fpic' on a sparc can address up to 2048 entries in
the GOT table. If the library gets to large, you need to compile all of
the object files with `-fPIC' in stead. ld needs to detect the presence
of the -fPIC relocations and then allow the GOT table to grow larger.
I'll set out about doing this sometime soon.
