The reference to __tls_get_addr is in the data section. And the code just above creates a symbol in the text section referenced from the data section to ensure the text section is retained. So this change doesn't make sense. You're essentially saying that the data section is not used, which makes the other code useless to ensure that the text section is referenced.
