AR from older binutils doesn't work with --plugin and rc:
[hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ touch foo.c
[hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ ar --plugin /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/10/liblto_plugin.so rc libfoo.a foo.c
[hjl@gnu-cfl-2 bin]$ ./ar --plugin /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/10/liblto_plugin.so rc libfoo.a foo.c
./ar: no operation specified

This is -fpie -pie generating dynamic relocations in the text section,
simply because no TLS transitions are applied in PIE mode. The meat
of the patch is to turn calls to bfd_link_pic (info) in TLS-related code
into !bfd_link_executable (info) and there are quite a lot of them...
