I think it's unreasonable.  If we want this kind of relocation
we should invent a new relocation type.  Which I don't necessarily
think is unreasonable, but a pure pic solution without any runtime
relocation requirement might be better.

IPLT just has too many other semantics.

What exactly are you going to do when IPLT appears in a relocatable
object, referencing a dynamic symbol, and so needs to be copied into
the dso?  How are you going to differentiate that from an IPLT reloc
that is associated with the .IA_64.pltoff array?
