Description H.J. Lu 2015-02-06 18:25:10 UTC 
ld should provide more info to help user identify the issue:

[hjl@gnu-6 textrel-2]$ cat foo.s
	.text
	.globl	foo
	.type	foo, @function
foo:
	ret
	.size	foo, .-foo
	.text
	.globl	_start
	.type	_start, @function
_start:
	.size	_start, .-_start
	.text
	.globl	bar
	.type	bar, @function
bar:
	movl	foo, %eax
	.size	bar, .-bar
[hjl@gnu-6 textrel-2]$ make
gcc -m32 -c  -o foo.o foo.s
./ld -m elf_i386 -z text -shared -o libfoo.so foo.o
./ld: read-only segment has dynamic relocations.
make: *** [libfoo.so] Error 1
[hjl@gnu-6 textrel-2]$
Comment 1 H.J. Lu 2015-02-06 20:53:26 UTC 
Shouldn't -z text turn on --warn-shared-textrel or at least
inform user to turn on --warn-shared-textrel to get more info?
Comment 2 H.J. Lu 2015-02-06 21:25:00 UTC 
-warn-shared-textrel warning is only implemented in elf32-i386.c
and elf64-x86-64.c.
