Presumably it won't help - bear in mind, this is a _24-bit_ relocation. 
You have to load modules close enough that that suffices, or else you
have to insert trampolines for longer jumps... through a GOT or
whatever.

PowerPC GCC doesn't seem to have a long-calls option, so you're just
out of luck if you can't fit things in 16MB.  Trampolines may be the
way to go.
