System V Application Binary Interface AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement Draft Version 0.99.8
(https://github.com/hjl-tools/x86-psABI/wiki/x86-64-psABI-r249.pdf, B.2 "B.2 Optimize GOTPCRELX Relocations")
introduces possible relaxations for R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX and R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX.
That patch implements the next relaxation:
mov foo@GOTPCREL(%rip), %reg => lea foo(%rip), %reg
and also opens door for implementing all other ones.
Implementation was suggested by Rafael Ávila de Espíndola with few additions and testcases by myself.
