I haven't found anything specifically about this error message, but it looks vaguely like the amd64-specific messages that happen when trying to link non-PIC object files into a shared library.  In src/lib/libc/aarch64/gen/sigsetjmp.S, we have two conditional jumps

Given how arm handles similar branches, it seems like the correct fix would be to change these (and probably other branches) from e.g.

	b.eq	_C_LABEL(_setjmp)

to

	b.eq	PIC_SYM(_C_LABEL(_setjmp), PLT)

However, doing so triggers a clang crash.  PIC_SYM is explicitly defined for aarch64, but is otherwise unused.  It appears that we don't actually generate relocations, at least during initial linking.  As a side effect, we have an implicit dependency on all of libc's dependent symbols serendipitously being within some limited range of each other.  When using conditional branches, that range is +-1 MiB; for unconditional branches it is +-128 MiB.

The jemalloc update changed libc's layout, and the conditional branches exceeded the +-1 MiB range.  This latent bug is worked around in r320136, though it seems likely we have broader problems with how we build PIC libraries for arm64.
