I am bummed that Rich Felker's solution for compatibility (sane diagnostic
for loading a new PIE/DSO with old ld.so) was not accepted:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-November/133313.html

(add just one new relocation to indicate presence of SHT_RELR)

It would have been a nice solution that works the same across all OS'es,
without requiring changes in ld.so. Was there something wrong with it?
