We use a binutils patch to force ld to to keep the reloc section:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
build.git/tree/projects/binutils/enable-reloc-section-ld.patch
FFmpeg is using a workaround to do that:
https://github.com/TheRyuu/FFmpeg/commit/91b668acd6decec0a6f8d20bf56e2644f96adcb9
We should check if this workaround works for us too. Using this workaround
might be easier than fixing the binutils patch to make it work for x86_64
builds, for #23228.
