  1731. up when a global const variable is initialized to the address of a
  1732. function or the value of another global variable.)
  1733. This is a fairly obscure option the ld man page doesn't even bother

  1735. likely to consume memory (by allocating an extra page) rather than
  1736. save it.

  1748. increases start-up latency by a few microseconds and may do
  1749. unnecessary work (resolving symbols that are never used), but the
  1750. realtime people like it for making microbenchmark timings slightly

  1762. just won't cause uClibc to request it unnecessarily.)
  1763. This is a security thing to make buffer overflows harder to exploit.
  1764. By itself, it's kind of useless, as Linus Torvalds explained in 1998:
