Hi Ard, I like you path, and it makes the code look more clear. But in fact, old code should already ignore the dynamic RELA sections implicitly. Like below code, when the GenFw use .rela section info value, which is 0, to get .rela target applying section address in SecShdr, it will point to

[edk2] [PATCH] BaseTools/GenFw: ignore dynamic RELA sections

When building PIE (ET_DYN) executables, an additional RELA section is emitted (in addition to the per-section .rela.text and .rela.data sections) that is intended to be resolved at runtime by a ET_DYN compatible loader. At the moment, due to the fact that we don't support GOT based relocations,
