So you _are_ talking about the process. I think it's customary to call
such executables "dynamic", or perhaps non-static, isn't it? (Why I'm
confused with your wording: a dynamic executable which happens to have no
dynamic reloc entries, has "no dynamic relocation available at runtime",
and so we couldn't add one :))

So, I still can understand my version better (possibly with
s/dynamic/non-static/) :)

Ciao,
