It is possible but see below.

I guess, I do not have a very strong opinion about that. But my concern is that
the generated relocation is off by 4 which is not clear why; I discovered that
by a mere chance. The LLVM behavior is probably more intuitive here but at the
very least it would be good to error out rather than just silently generate an
incorrect relocation.
