Yes, ld.elf_so now shows a warning about bad binaries. Text relocations
have *always* been a stupid idea, but some folks pretended that the
benefits of having an additional register is more important. For once,
binaries with text relocations will break under W^X. They behave worse
for core dumps and other reasons. Just because it wasn't as visible
before doesn't mean the old behavior was acceptable.
