That should do it - and on the next sync everything should be back to normal.
Btw: seems like building the driver (xf86-video-intel in my case) seems to
break X (no screens found).
I think it still would be an improvement nonetheless if xorg-server  could be
build with full relro.
The question is if it's the same for other drivers (building the drivers break
X, building the server itself with full relro works).

One other more or less losely related thing: x86-input-synaptics works with
full relro for me.
