"Usual static jumps"?  There's nothing usual about static jumps on
the PA ;(  However, it should be possible to jump to a static address
with the right setup.

The 64-bit linker hasn't really been ported to linux.  The interpreter
section is hardcoded to ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER:

#define ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER "/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl"

      /* Set the contents of the .interp section to the interpreter.  */
      if (info->executable)
	{
	  s = bfd_get_section_by_name (dynobj, ".interp");
	  BFD_ASSERT (s != NULL);
	  s->size = sizeof ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER;
	  s->contents = (unsigned char *) ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER;
	}
