The prelink test suite has two tests (reloc8 and reloc9) that attempt to link an application with "-Wl,-z,nocopyreloc".  This worked through "krogoth" but no longer works on master.

The easiest way to reproduce the problem is to build a system using the default 'master' configuration, adding:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-core-buildessential ssh sshd binutils-staticdev elfutils gdb file git"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES_append = " dev-pkgs"
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "524288"

then build using:  MACHINE=qemuarm bitbake core-image-base

Boot into the system, and clone (using git) "git://git.yoctoproject.org/prelink-cross"

The run the following:

autoreconf -if
./configure
make
make check

The reloc8 and reloc9 test used to pass, and no longer do.  (It is expected there will be two failures, the preload1 and quick2 tests.)
