This patch changes sequence of applying relocations, moving tls optimized relocation handling code before code for other locals.
Without that change relocation @GOTTPOFF against local symbol caused runtime error ("unrecognized reloc ...").
That change also should fix other tls optimized relocations, but I did not check them, that's a field for another patch.
R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF relocations against locals can be found when linking against libc.a(malloc.o):
