sparc64 -no-pie does not produce an R_SPARC_IRELATIVE. This looks weird.
All other archs emit an R_*_IRELATIVE.

Can you dump the assembly (including .text and .[i]plt)?
Or can someone with sparc64 experience answer why sparc64 is different
here?

As my lld R_RISCV_IRELATIVE patch (https://reviews.llvm.org/D74022) shows

   # DIS64:      _start:
   # DIS64-NEXT:     1264: auipc a0, 0
   # DIS64-NEXT:           addi a0, a0, 12
   # DIS64:      Disassembly of section .iplt:
   # DIS64:      00001270 func:
   ## 64-bit: &.got.plt[func]-. = 0x3370-0x1270 = 4096*2+256
   # DIS64-NEXT:          auipc t3, 2
   # DIS64-NEXT:          ld t3, 256(t3)
   # DIS64-NEXT:          jalr t1, t3
   # DIS64-NEXT:          nop

The idea is to create an IPLT entry and bind absolute/PC-relative relocations to that address.
The IPLT entry needs a .got.plt slot, which is relocated by an R_*_IRELATIVE at runtime.
It is R_*_IRELATIVE because no symbol index is needed.


R_SPARC_JMP_IREL looks strange. I hope someone can explain.
