No.  There are things in glibc that need fixing.  We have small-model
toc relocs being used in assembly.  This results in the linker
refusing to do toc/got indirect to toc pointer relative code
optimisation for those sequences.  So we get toc/got entries with
relative relocations that result in segfaults when static-pie binaries
are trying to relocate themselves.

What were the linker changes you thought would be necessary?
