The dynamic linker is supposed to support executing binaries using RELR 
relocations on all architectures - there's not meant to be anything 
architecture-specific about that support.  What's architecture-specific is 
the static linker support (thus, if missing in the static linker used to 
build and test glibc, then (a) the dynamic linker could still run binaries 
using RELR if they were built using some other static linker, but (b) none 
of the glibc binaries, either installed or test, will contain any RELR 
relocations themselves).
