Upstream glibc enables DT_RELR for its ELF files by default (including
tests), and we seem to hit something DT_RELR-related:

  Some glibc tests crash in DT_RELR relocation on powerpc64le
  <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29235>

(I'm working on attaching the test binary to the bug.)

Maybe we should not automatically DT_RELR for glibc itself if BFD ld
supports it?

Thanks,
