Right. That makes sense.

We pass -mcmodel=large to clang, but I just confirmed that the
attribute isn't stored in LLVM IR, which means it's not used during
link time compilation. I'll see if we can solve this problem by
passing the correct code model directly to LLVMgold instead. Thanks
for pointing this out.
