Yes.  The thing that makes this question a little curly is that
TPREL16 relocs will only be dynamic if a shared lib is compiled
using the LE model.  Doing so is every bit as silly as using non-PIC
shared libs, perhaps even more silly, so it may be better for the
linker just to bomb on finding these relocs.  I added support in
the linker because it was easy to do, and it's generally a good idea
to be permissive in what the linker accepts.  On the other hand, we
don't want to bloat code in ld.so.
