Would some configure switch sacrificing performance for avoiding
textrels be acceptable for you?

I can understand that selinux, pax and similar security urges to severe
compromises. However at least some users are willing to give up 20-40%
performance if they gain some security benefit. For these users I'm
considering building yet another variant, if it was a matter of
selecting some switch for the configure switch. [1]

Before starting any work on this, I'd like to know if that would be
acceptable for inclusion at all.

[1] this is not going to be trivial either, but I have an idea how this
could be implemented in the packaging in a way that installs a version
with textrels by default, but offers replacement packages for users that
need it.
