As pointed out in #11322 there is a hardware design issue in RISC-V that
affects RV64 relocations. The problem is with how address bits are loaded
into registers via lui / auipc and sign extension.
If the hi20 relocation value happens to have its 32-bit sign bit set, i.e.
value is 0x80000000 (but not negative! i.e. negative in 64-bit format) the
relocation will fail, as the address is erroneously sign extended:
0x00000000_80000000 becomes 0xffffffff_80000000 which is not correct.
Also, make sure the correct opcode is used with PCREL_HI20, it expects
AUIPC (not LUI). The C compiler will never emit such code but when hand-
writing assembly code this can happen.
