What version of gcc are you using? Older 2.95 versions are known
to have issues outputting R_PPC_REL24 relocs in PIC code.
Use 'readelf -r' to determine the various types of relocations in
a shared object file. In a properly compiled PPC .so file, you
shouldn't get R_PPC_REL24, because that kind of reloc only allows
a 24 bit signed offset (+2 because instructions are aligned), thus
+/- 32 MB. The binary and libraries are typically mapped at
0x10000000 and 0x30000000, so things like R_PPC_JMP_SLOT are used
in .so code to jump from one library to another.
It works on i386 because that architecture has 32 bit offsets.

The in-core size is not the problem itself, but probably triggers
the problem.
