Oh dear. It's not as simple as that. The issue indeed are relocations,
but we don't hit those errors. The issue rather is that the systemz
specific relative redirection code thought that the only relative
symbols are functions. So it creates a stub function to redirect
them. Which turns out to not work well with variables like
CurrentMemoryContext...

Example debug output:
        This is a SystemZ indirect relocation. Create a new stub function
        RelType: 20 Addend: 2 TargetName: ExecAggInitGroup
        SectionID: 0 Offset: 624
        This is a SystemZ indirect relocation. Create a new stub function
        RelType: 26 Addend: 2 TargetName: CurrentMemoryContext
        SectionID: 0 Offset: 712

Opening a bug report...

Greetings,

Andres Freund
