--- Comment #5 from Michael Matz <matz at suse dot de> ---
So with current master binutils, without additional changes I don't see copy
relocs on aarch64 with the (adjusted for data size) example:

% cat data-ref.s
.globl _start
        .p2align 4
_start:
        ret

.data
        .globl data_object
# .section        .rodata,"a",@progbits
object_reference:
        .quad data_object
        .size object_reference,8

% cat libdata.s
.data
        .globl data_object
        .type data_object, %object
        .size data_object, 8
data_object:
        .quad 123

% ./gas/as-new -o data-ref.o data-ref.s
% ./gas/as-new -o libdata.o libdata.s
% ./ld/ld-new -shared -o libdata.so libdata.o
% ./ld/ld-new -znocopyreloc -o data-ref data-ref.o libdata.so
% readelf -rW data-ref
Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0x230 contains 1 entry:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value 
Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000411000  0000000100000101 R_AARCH64_ABS64        0000000000000000
data_object + 0

This doesn't change when the '.section rodata' directive is uncommented, i.e.
when the reference comes from a read-only section.  Still no copy-reloc.

(Without the -znocopyreloc linker option we do generate a copy reloc, but
that's expected).

So, right now I don't see anything in need for fixing.  This all was somewhat
related to a go problem: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22040 .  If that
one still exists then it's different from _this_ problem report here.

If there's new info or a reproducer that still shows a problem, please reopen.
