--- Comment #11 from Thomas Garnier <thgarnie at google dot com> --- I think for this file using only -mcmodel=large makes more sense. Given the proposed option (-fstatic-pie) is not kernel specific, the TLS is not needed. What do you think about disabling optimization like switch folding [1]? It seems to exist only to remove relocations that is not even needed in a classic -fPIE (or -fstatic-pie) scenario.
