Binutils' 2.17 ld did not have this issue; it accepted the relocations and
generated working binaries (albeit with the function pointer mismatch issue,
which is a GCC issue, not binutils' responsibility). I think rejecting
semantically valid ELF relocations solely for the purpose of preventing
potentially-buggy code generated by GCC from getting linked is bad policy, and
the behavior should be reverted. GCC can be fixed to lookup protected function
pointers through the GOT, and perhaps even add a new visibility variant for the
old behavior (which is highly desirable if you don't intend to pass function
pointers in and out of the library).
