--- Comment #2 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
This is not a ld problem.  The patch for pr20995 is a necessary security fix.

The real reason you are seeing larger binaries is that gcc is using copy relocs
rather than accessing the shared library variables, in order to gain a small
performance improvement.

Please open a gcc bug.
