When building SeaMonkey 2.53.13 for x86-64 on openSUSE Tumbleweed, compilation aborts with the following two "read-only segment has dynamic relocations" linker errors:

[  906s] /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/12/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /tmp/ccY1tqK1.ltrans0.ltrans.o: warning: relocation against `stdout@@GLIBC_2.2.5' in read-only section `.text._ZL13PrintAndFlushPKcz'

The problem seems to be specific to openSUSE Tumbleweed, or maybe more specifically the version of GNU ld it uses (2.38) since building on openSUSE Leap 15.3 and openSUSE Leap 15.4, which use ld 2.37, works fine.

A workaround to get SeaMonkey 2.53.13 to build on openSUSE Tumbleweed is to disable LTO. I do this by adding %define _lto_cflags %{nil} to the RPM spec file, which I suppose just omits the usual -flto=auto from CXXFLAGS.

Still reproducible when compiling 2.53.14 Beta 1.
