commit aea89f2c1ad1cfa2ddd09fb5262f7a0616708baa
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>

    backends: aarch64 can have _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ point anywhere in .got.
    
    When building with relro aarch64 splits .got in a writable and read-only
    part. _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ points to the first writable symbol, not the
    start of .got.
