This looks suspicious.  On x86_64 this kind of instruction is usually
PC-relative or uses a jump table, because x86_64 uses the small code
model by default (medium model on Cygwin).

Not without a more detailed report.  The aforementioned link does not
contain pointers to the source, for instance.  Also, a simple testcase
might be helpful.

If you suspect a linker bug, you might contemplate to ask on the
binutils mailing list binutils AT sourceware DOT org which is where ld
is maintained.
