Interesting. How does the build generate a warning by default?
Do you use Gentoo Linux which appears to ship a --warn-shared-textrel
enabled-by-default patch? (https://bugs.gentoo.org/700488)

% cat a.s
leal gdt(%edx), %eax
% as --32 a.s -o a.o
% ld.bfd -m elf_i386 -shared a.o -z notext # DT_TEXTREL is set. R_386_32

% ld.bfd -m elf_i386 -shared a.o # on-demand text relocations. DT_TEXTREL is set. R_386_32

% ld.bfd -m elf_i386 -shared a.o --warn-shared-textrel
ld.bfd: a.o: warning: relocation against `gdt' in read-only section `.text'
ld.bfd: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in a shared object

% ld.bfd -m elf_i386 -shared a.o -z text
ld.bfd: a.o: warning: relocation against `gdt' in read-only section `.text'
ld.bfd: read-only segment has dynamic relocations
## The above is an error. Output is suppressed

lld has only two modes: -z text (default) and -z notext. There is no
on-demand state. By default it will error.

There are feature requests to make -z text default, at least for some
architectures. I just found
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20824

Looks good to me.

I have a nit about the startup_32 comment. See below.

IIRC, %ebp contains the address of startup_32. la(X) references X
relative to startup_32. The fixup (in GNU as and clang integrated
assembler's term) is a constant which is resolved by the assembler.

There is no R_386_32 or R_386_PC32 for the linker to resolve.

Not very sure stating that "since startup_32 has link address 0" is very
appropriate here (probably because I did't see the term "link address"
before). If my understanding above is correct, I think you can just
reword the comment to express that X is referenced relative to
startup_32, which is stored in %ebp.
