Subject: Re: Static linking is broken after creation of DT_TEXTREL segment

"readelf -d main | grep TEXTREL" returns the same text on both musl and
glibc containers:

0x0000000000000016 (TEXTREL) 0x0
0x000000000000001e (FLAGS)     TEXTREL

"gcc -no-pie" is another workaround for musl container like Rich said. But
I think that 'set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static")' will be best cross
platform solution. As I know "-static" implies "no-pie".

this is probably a gentoo toolchain bug.

What do you mean "-z text"? We can report improvement for gentoo.
