Seems that, e.g., `R_X86_64_GOTPCREL` should give a guarantee that relaxation will not be performed though. As far I understand GNU linkers can relax `R_X86_64_GOTPCREL` too? It looks like a violation of ABI?
The suggested change (for ABI) about addend then seems only needed to support this behavior of GNU linkers. In LLVM we probably should just not emit a potentially relaxable relocation from the begining.
