As we already know when the glibc fix is available (upstream at least) we wouldn't have anything to keep up-to-date: we can simply describe the issue, the fixed glibc version, and note that the option will be removed in the future.


Putting the information in the man page description for `--warn-ifunc-textrel` sound good.

Probably. We'll need this information though I think. Otherwise, how will we find that it is safe to remove the flag?
