Right. With Sri's test case, we get an absolute R_386_32 relocation
for the access, and the DT_TEXTREL flag is set in the PIE binary
because of the text relocation. There is no COPY relocation. Since we
had a path in the code to check for copy relocs for the PC-relative
relocations, I think it makes sense to adjust the test there, though.
