Yes.
I switched to uclibc.

Looking at the assembly code, I think that movw, movt should be rewritten.
Are two instructions rewritten with one R_ARM_COPY?
But R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC/R_ARM_MOVT_ABS processing is not in glibc <sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h> and uclibc <ldso/ldso/arm/elfinterp.c>.
Where is wrong?

As expected.

Movement is different between ARM and X86(amd64).
