Quite.  Appending it to LDFLAGS eventually produced:

[...]
  CCLD     libgnutls.la
ld: warning: dynamic relocation to `_gnutls_x86_cpuid_s' in readonly section `.text'
ld: accelerated/.libs/libaccelerated.a(aesni-x86.o): warning: relocation against `_gnutls_x86_cpuid_s' in readonly section `.text'
ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in a shared object.
