You cannot have more than 1024 GOT entries (resp. 2048
if you allow negative) on sparc32, if there are any
R_SPARC_GOT13 relocations which don't fit in the first
1024 entries (resp 2048 with negative entries).
Similarly, you cannot have more than 512 GOT entries
if there are any R_SPARC_GOT13 relocs against other GOT
entries on sparc64 (where _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ cannot reside
in the middle of the .got section).
