How about this?

* Support for DT_RELR relative relocation format has been added to
  glibc.  This is a new ELF dynamic tag that improves the size of
  relative relocations in shared object files and position independent
  executables (PIE).  DT_RELR generation requires linker support for
  -z pack-relative-relocs option, which is supported for some targets
  in recent binutils versions.
