To get rid of the 'Has-PIC-GOT' see patch [1] (apply the patch to your buildroot
source and re-build the mosquitto package), maybe it makes a positive difference
at run-time?

For the target I get now:

	$ ./host/arm-buildroot-uclinux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/flthdr target/usr/bin/mosquitto_sub 
target/usr/bin/mosquitto_sub
    Magic:        bFLT
    Rev:          4
    Build Date:   Mon Nov  2 17:24:45 2020
    Entry:        0x45
    Data Start:   0xd31dc
    Data End:     0x146e60
    BSS End:      0x14e170
    Stack Size:   0x1000
    Reloc Start:  0x146e60
    Reloc Count:  0x4bbb
    Flags:        0x1 ( Load-to-Ram )


A description of the various entries/flags can be found in [2]...

Regards,
Peter
