But that's exactly what is supposed to be avoided.  On x86 the
generated code looks like this:

        movl    __gmon_start__@GOT(%ebx), %eax
        testl   %eax, %eax
        je      .L22
        call    *%eax

I.e., no use of __gmon_start__ as a jump target.  Since I have no PPC
machine handy I cannot say whether you get similar code.  If you do
seeing two relocations is wrong and can only be produced by the file
splitting.
