No, I think they are basically the same thing.
I did some archeology, it looks like 61da1864 equals what you want to change here. But later, 96098337 excludes for ELF explicitly. I don't see any detailed reasoning, but guess maybe compatibility with GNU tool chain. It's there for about 20 years. I'm worried the change will break existing users.
I was thinking if we can use a different represent to distinguish absolute address against relative address. Then we can do a different lower in `LowerCall` for them.
