This looks like a bug in your linker. There are two forms of a
relocation entry in ELF: REL and RELA. REL is shorter so where possible
PolyML.export generates that form. There are a few platforms that
insist on the use of RELA (Sparc, PPC, IA64) but the normal linkers on
X86/32 and X86/64 are quite happy to accept REL. It's possible that
Poly/ML could switch to generating RELA all the time at the expense of
increased size of the object files but I'm reluctant to make a switch
unnecessarily.
