I'm not sure if you're just trolling, but I'll give the same example I gave before (you can get even wilder simplifications -- called relaxations -- with TLS, since there are 4 levels of generality there). I'm not sure what you meant by "changing isntructions", but in the first case the linker did the fixup indicated by the relocation and in the second reduced the generality of the reference (one less level of indirection by changing mov to lea) because it knew the symbol could not be preempted (more exactly, the R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocation allows the linker to do the relaxation if it can determine that it's safe to)
