And it needs to be built with:

  go build -ldflags=-extldflags=-pie extld.go

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this, but I'm worried that this
could be a regression that matters to userspace.

I encountered the same when trying to build go on ppc64le. I am not
familiar with the internals so I just let it be.

It does not seem to matter to any other userspace.

It would matter to C code which returns the address of a global variable
in the main program through and (implicit) int return value.

I wonder if this is restricted to linker that Golang uses.
Were you able to reproduce the same problem with Binutils' linker?
