That sounds like an ld bug. DT_TEXTREL set by ld -shared when it thinks
there were some dynamic relocs in read-only segments.

and sure enough, check-textrel no longer complained.
Unfortunately, although the gcc and glibc regression tests link
now, dynamically linked programs all crash with an illegal instruction.
I don't know enough to know whether that's a new problem,
or whether it's an expected outcome of the test binutils patch.
I guess I could link a static copy of gdbserver and run
it via chroot without a shell, and see if it could tell me
what's going on... alternately, I'd be happy to send my build
script to anyone. It's quite easy to reproduce.

Er, I guess that means looking at the output of readelf -r
but it'd take a while for me to figure that out. (Maybe
check-textrel should output more descriptive errors.)
