Urk -- the example given in that bug report isn't even weak. Are you
guys proposing to pessimize every access to a global symbol, regardless
of visibility, by going through the GOT on the off chance that somebody
might define one of them as SHN_ABS? Can we at least gate it behind
something like __attribute__((might_be_shn_abs))?
