[PATCH] D19995: Optimize access to global variable references in PIE mode when linker supports copy relocations for PIE

This looks like a huge step in the wrong direction to me. Copy relocations are one of the worst misfeatures of ELF. Please do not add any new dependencies.

That said, if the original motivation is simplifying access to variables of the main program (not in shared libraries), the linker can already optimize them.
