awk: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for relocation: Permission denied

When running SE Linux in enforcing mode on a loong64 system I get the
above when trying to run awk. Below is the strace output that indicates
that this library is doing it:

awk: error while loading shared libraries: cannot make segment writable for relocation: Permission denied

I see this for discussion on that error message:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8768758.html?sid=9d73cf3cc10c865d0099c2bc3f60f29a

which quotes some code from the loader:

/* Bletch. We must make read-only segments writable
long enough to relocate them. */

When running SE Linux in enforcing mode on a loong64 system I get the
above when trying to run awk. Below is the strace output that indicates
that this library is doing it:

tinfo isn't loading something
(g)awk is loading something.

gawk loads readline, which wants tinfo (as in the discussion, use readelf
to get useful information to support this report).

I'd expect the problem is between either gawk/readline, or readline/tinfo. Since more application use the latter (i.e., bash), I'd suspect the former.
