Does static pie (ET_DYN with non-fixed load address, _DYNAMIC relocations, but no PT_INTERP, DT_NEEDEDs, or symbolic relocations) currently work with gold? If so, what is the way to request it? I would say it would make sense to try to do things the same, but from what you're saying it sounds like gold already significantly mismatches the bfd linker behavior...? Rich
