For this use case, the following seems to work: ".long %c0b - .\t\n" It produces the same relocation section+addend as before but with a X86_64_PC32 relocation. It looks like the above patch was already merged so I'll add that change to the TODO list unless Ingo can squash it with the above patch. -- Josh
