Comment (by bgamari):

 Unfortunately, things are still broken with BFD ld due to ld bug 16177
 (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16177) wherein ld
 inexplicably generates R_ARM_COPY relocations where a standard R_ARM_ABS32
 relocation would do just fine (as gold does). Sadly, despite the bug being
 reported two months ago, there has been no activity from the ld side. For
 now I suspect we'll just have to advise users to use gold on ARM.
