No, not exactly like.  When we're doing lazy binding the
.IA_64.pltoff entries are initially only adjusted for the
load address of the dso.

So you're planning on treating .rel.IA_64.pltoff specially.

Which means there ought to be additional guarantees by the
IA-64 ABI that are not provided by the generic ELF ABI.
Namely, that .rel.IA_64.pltoff is not included in DT_RELA/DT_RELASZ.
