I was wrong, this is not a real GAS bug.  (See the binutils list for a
discussion.)  The object file is larger than 64K instructions, and GAS
apparently cannot express the necessary relocation in the object file
in this case.

In other words, Objective Caml is at fault.  It generates invalid
assembler input.
