The PLT/Jump table can have different entry types depending on the phase of the moon, the position of the planets, the current weather and other unpredictable stuff. Normally x86_64 uses RELA entries, and x86 uses REL entries. But sometimes it doesn't happen, so we need to check the DT_PLTREL tag to see which one we should use at runtime. This method is more reliable than assuming that 64 bits means RELA and 32 bits mean REL.
