I believe that Morello LLD is emitting RELATIVE relocations for hidden weak undefined symbols in PIE binaries.

As Peter Smith pointed out to me, depending on the behaviour of the runtime this could lead to having a non-zero capability once the relocations have been processed.

I have not double-checked if this happens, but raising an issue since there seems to be no reason for these relocations and I expect we could do without.
