It's trying to measure clock cycles required to perform the startup
relocations.  E.g.

$ LD_DEBUG=statistics /bin/true
   4224:        
   4224: runtime linker statistics:
   4224:   total startup time in dynamic loader: 558705 clock cycles
   4224:   time needed for relocation: 142093 clock cycles (25.4%)
   4224:                  number of relocations: 2
   4224:       number of relocations from cache: 27
   4224:         number of relative relocations: 0
   4224:            time needed to load objects: 200809 clock cycles (35.9%)
   4224:        
   4224: runtime linker statistics:
   4224:            final number of relocations: 4
   4224: final number of relocations from cache: 27
