I do wonder if time is better spent on making symbol binding faster in
general, and eliminate the semantic difference between BIND_NOW and lazy
binding (like musl has done, albeit in an IFUNC-less context).
An example of the current performance issues:
ld.so has poor performance characteristics when loading large
quantities of .so files
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27695>
I'm not suggesting we bring back prelink. There must be other
approaches to make binding go faster.
Thanks,
Florian
