Good question. It seems it originally comes from sysdeps/i386/Makefile
where it is still available.I've also found:
sysdeps/m68k/Makefile:44:CFLAGS-rtld.c += -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-unused
At least with a single build of gcc 15, I don't need it (also not on
31bit). I have to dig deeper in the history why it was added in the past
and do some more tests.
As this is a change to s390-64, I would prefer to investigate first and
create a patch independent of the s390-32 removal.

For binutils-bfd all required patches are included in binutils 2.39.
>From my tests in the past:
lld had also generated TPOFF relocations, which was fixed with llvm 19
and I think it was backported to llvm 18 release branch:
"[lld/ELF] Avoid unnecessary TPOFF relocations in GOT for -pie (#81739)"
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/6f907733e65d24edad65f763fb14402464bd578b
But I have to dig deeper in recent lld versions. It seems as static-pie
is disabled. At least when building with llvm 21, config.h claims:
/* Define if static PIE is supported. */
/* #undef SUPPORT_STATIC_PIE */
For gold, there is the bug:
"Bug 22221 - add --no-dynamic-linker option"
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22221
Thus I would leave the test as is for now.
Thanks for the two points. I have to check further. But as mentioned I
would prefer to leave it as is for the s390-32 removal and do some
follow-up work.
Is this okay for you?
Thanks,
Stefan
