Rather, the Itanium runtime architecture itself provides a way to reduce
them.

I was referring to shlibs (PIC) on HP-UX and it was implicit in my mind.
Sorry for that.

I just built a large C++ shlib both on HP-UX/Itanium with our aCC
compiler and Linux x86-64 using GCC-6.2. The sources are almost same
with only a couple of lines differing between platforms.

(HP-UX/Linux)
Total:    12224/38311
RELATIVE: 18/6397

I will try to check the reason for such a huge difference in RELATIVE
reloc count. It might be useful for this discussion (just a guess)
