We ignore -z common-page-size and respect only -z max-page-size. It looks like the difference of common-page-size and max-page-size is that RELRO segments are not guaranteed to be read-only if the common-page-size is smaller than the actual page size, while max-page-size doesn't have such drawback. However, it also looks like a change is recently made to GNU ld so that RELRO is now aligned to max-page-size instead of common-page-size to ensure it's readable at runtime.

So common-page-size doesn't seems to mean anything now.
