As a side note, they have some interesting stuff about their build

relocations.
This was enlightening:
"For number 1, we embarked on a new adventure to build a super-special
custom toolchain that builds libstdc++.so.6 just right so that it can be
static linked with the plugin without those nagging textrels. The ASM
optimization bits are giving us some problems but Tinic thinks he has a
way to make those functions play ball in order to create a fast binary.
So now the plugin works on hardened Linux or SELinux or whatever the
right buzzword is; it works with a Linux distro that uses the security
feature of randomizing a program's base address."
And that is a fine example of why I immediately turn off SELinux.
