Is it possible to produce a _functional_ LoongArch64 EDK2 binary without 
this option, even if the resulting binary is less efficient?

(I'm the person who updated Fedora's binutils and cross-gcc packages to 
ensure that LoongArch64 was supported in Fedora 38, and this 
-mno-explicit-relocs issue is also currently blocking me from merging 
LoongArch64 support into iPXE.)

Thanks,

Michael
