Comment:

 Ian Lyangh would be able to say better, having authored the patch, but
 what I think happened was, because the PE spec doesn't actually say how to
 process relocations, the code was written by cross-referencing against
 relocations in ELF. But it does look like R_X86_64_32S was given the wrong
 constant...
