Inefficient use of 64-bit addresses in Clang

[Agner Fog]

It's a difference in memory model.

clang 6.0.0 under ubuntu with --target=x86_64-pc-cygwin gives relative 
addresses, unless you specify -mcmodel=large.

Cygwin clang with -mcmodel=small does the right thing: use relative 
addresses.

The -mcmodel=small option appears to work differently for Linux and for 
Windows targets. I cannot find any documentation of this difference. See:
