The 1 line removal is because none of the archs has that.
The i386 implementation has everything within if (relocs), the other
archs have it outside, but DT_TEXTREL is only valid for if (relocs), so we
would omit that part gaining some speed

I am asking it, because no other arch has that, only ppc32, so there must
be some other solution to that as well.

Would the implementation make the binaries smaller?
