For R_x86_64_32 and R_x86_64_32S the problem is that the instructions
are using absolute 32bit addresses.

It is probably overkill but we should be able to solve this with
by adding "-mcmodel=large" to the build of purgatory.

Hopefully there are not 32bit or 16bit assembly routines getting linked
in and using problemenatic instructions.
