i would like to see why this works on glibc.

glibc can process some text relocs but even then
the elf image will not be shared when multiple
instances of the same binary are executed
potentially wasting a lot of ram and icache.

so i don't think the glibc behaviour is desirable.

if the glibc binary does not have textrel (it can
be checked using readelf -d binary) it would be
nice to know why.

i'm also surprised that it was only a warning,
i think gcc default pie toolchain passes -z text
nowadays exactly to make this a link time failure.
this is probably a gentoo toolchain bug.
