32-bit powerpc's elf_reloc_internal has no support for R_PPC_JMP_SLOT but clang with devel/powerpc64-binutils uses such for building kernel modules

/usr/src/sys/powerpc/powerpc/elf64_machdep.c has:

static int
elf_reloc_internal(linker_file_t lf, Elf_Addr relocbase, const void *data,
    int type, int local, elf_lookup_fn lookup)
{
. . .
        case R_PPC_JMP_SLOT:    /* function descriptor copy */
                lookup(lf, symidx, 1, &addr);
#if !defined(_CALL_ELF) || _CALL_ELF == 1
                memcpy(where, (Elf_Addr *)addr, 3*sizeof(Elf_Addr));
#else
                *where = addr;
#endif
                __asm __volatile("dcbst 0,%0; sync" :: "r"(where) : "memory");
                break;

. . .

But /usr/src/sys/powerpc/powerpc/elf32_machdep.c 's elf_reloc_internal
does not have any R_PPC_JMP_SLOT case in its code.

Yet, from using clang as the system compiler for targeting 32-bit powerpc,
readelf -asW /boot/kernel/if_gem.ko shows the likes of:

Relocation section with addend (.rela.plt):
r_offset r_info   r_type              st_value st_name + r_addend

00018360 00000e15 R_PPC_JMP_SLOT      00000000 bpf_mtap + 0
. . .

# file /boot/kernel/if_gem.ko
/boot/kernel/if_gem.ko: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=013a358835fddcd6bbb82d35a6ce36243eccb743, not stripped

So, naturally, module loading such (manual or automatic)
is a problem for the 32-bit powerpc context.

The context was head -r347549 .
