This logic could lead to a zero-sized VLA (thus UB); instead, trying:
int too_many_addends = symbolic_rel_cnt > 4096;
size_t naddends = too_many_addends ? 0 : symbolic_rel_cnt;
size_t addends[naddends+1];
size_t *paddends = too_many_addends ? 0 : addends;
Avoiding the wasteful +1 would involve more conditionals so I think
it's best just avoiding it. Alternatively this might be
simpler/smaller:
size_t addends[symbolic_rel_cnt & LIMIT-1 | 1];
size_t *paddends = symbolic_rel_cnt >= LIMIT ? 0 : addends;
