And here's that.

The Problem is that two "generic" tests are written expecting
32-bit absolute addresses are ok, even for 64-bit targets.  For
a fair number of targets this is even true.

But alpha by default places the image base at 0x1_2000_0000,
which results in all sorts of relocation truncated errors.

This adjusts the two relevant test cases for 64-bit targets.
Which... probably causes just as many problems for some 32-bit
targets.

So.  What's the best way forward here?
