You can ignore the warning for now, it is harmless: it's always been there, but binutils-2.35 has enabled the warning by default. There are patches in tip that should make this go away for v5.10. Thanks. https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=ld/NEWS;hb=refs/tags/binutils-2_35_1 * Add a configure option, --enable-textrel-check=[no|yes|warning|error], to decide what ELF linker should do by default with DT_TEXTREL in an executable or shared library. Default to yes for Linux/x86 targets.
