It would be good if we can build glibc with multiple optimization options to check for such issues. * elf: Fix GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static builds [BZ #29864] [2]: this issue is preventing the bootstrap on some archs, like alpha. * Remove --with-default-link option [3]: this prevents the vtable hardening when using --with-default-link=yes (and it also simplifies a bit the build setup). I also added the 'Optimize posix_spawn signal setup with clone3' as desirable feature. Both the aarch64 and powerpc64 its are done and it leverages newer kernel features to speed up posix_spawn.
