This relocation specifies that the instruction at r_offset and the
instruction at <emphasis>r_offset</emphasis> +
<emphasis>r_addend</emphasis> may be optimized by the linker.
Specifically, the register set by the first instruction and used by
the second is not used by any intervening instruction nor is the value
used by any following instruction.
This relocation specifies that the instruction at
<emphasis>r_offset</emphasis> and the instruction at
<emphasis>r_offset</emphasis> + <emphasis>r_addend</emphasis> may be
optimized by the linker; the compiler must guarantee that register
lifetimes are such that the optimization is safe. In both code
sequences where this relocation is valid, the first instruction also
has another relocation at <emphasis>r_offset</emphasis>. The
R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT entry occurs immediately after that relocation in
the table of relocations.
