Sorry, but i'm not really able to trace this. My knowledge in
assembler and tricky glibc build tooling (and the time i'm able to
invest) is limited.

The mentioned symbol seems to be defined in a file named
rtld-global-offsets.sym. It contains these lines:

 #define SHARED 1

 #include <ldsodefs.h>

 #define rtld_global_ro_offsetof(mem) offsetof (struct rtld_global_ro,
mem)

 RTLD_GLOBAL_RO_DL_HWCAP_OFFSET  rtld_global_ro_offsetof (_dl_hwcap)

But it's not clear to me, how this is involved in the build process. :(
