Comment (by erikd):

 The generated code that causes a problem looks like:

 {{{
         stw     31, 36328(1)
         lwz     31, 67(14)
         stw     29, 36336(1)
         lwz     29, 71(14)
         stw     28, 36344(1)
         lwz     28, 75(14)
         stw     26, 36352(1)
 }}}

 The problem is, that according to
 https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.alangref/idalangref_stw_st_instrs.htm
 the offset is a signed 16 bit value and 36336 can'nt be represented in a
 signed 16 bit value.
