first of all IRELATIVE relocs are in a separate
section (.rela.plt where DT_JUMPREL points to)
that is processed later than RELATIVE relocs
(which are in .rela.dyn where DT_RELA points to)
see the two 'ranges' in _ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_RELOC.

with static pie 'ELF_DURING_STARTUP' is set, so
the two ranges are not processed separately, but
in one go, but because of the different section,
IRELATIVE is necessarily after RELATIVE in the
binary.

of course glibc may choose to process relocs in
different order than they appear in the binary.
see elf_dynamic_do_Rela, but that's not a linker
issue anymore.

(within DT_JUMPREL i'd expect ld to order IRELATIVE
after JUMP_SLOT relocs, but before TLSDESC relocs,
but such relocs cannot appear in static pie so this
is not relevant here anyway.)

also note that currently in glibc the aarch64 ifunc
resolvers don't depend on RELATIVE relocs so even
if there was no ordering the reloc processing would
work for now (assuming no user ifuncs).

in short 13302 is not relevant to this bug.
