There was a complication on the x86_64 platform, where pointers were 64 bits, but the tools didn't support 64-bit relative relocations. This was true before binutils 2.17, which nowadays is quite standart (even CentOs 5 is shipped with 2.17). Hacks were removed from x86 genSwitch and asm pretty printer. Also [x86-64-relative] note was dropped from includes/rts/storage/InfoTables.h as it's not referenced anywhere now.
