This changed was originally planned and approved for Fedora 39. It reduces startup time somewhat for large objects with lots of function and object pointers in global data.
It should be a transparent change, internal to the toolchain. Within glibc itself, we started using this linker feature in glibc 2.36 (Fedora 37), and no issues surfaced. A few dozen test rebuilds of core packages did not show any issues, either.
is /usr/bin/ld: warning: -z pack-relative-relocs ignored related? It seems to appear in s390x builds.
Yeah, it is, it did not occur to me to check that it was actually enabled in the link editor on all architectures because the format is portable. I'll raise the gap with IBM.
Thanks, Florian
