The BFD linker generates runtime relocations for z_input_len and z_output_len, even though they are absolute symbols.
This is fixed for binutils-2.35 [1]. Work around this for earlier versions by defining two variables input_len and output_len in addition to the symbols, and use them via position-independent references. This eliminates the last two runtime relocations in the head code and allows us to drop the -z noreloc-overflow flag to the linker.
