That sure looks to me like it disables emitting DT_TEXTREL completely.
That cannot be right unless ld refuses to emit relocs in readonly segments.

No, it does a very simple check.  You need to understand at least a little
bit about relocation to work on this kind of bug, and you are the person
working on it.  All you need to look at is the addresses the relocations
apply to (the first column), and look at the segments (readelf -l) to see
where these addresses lie.
