Thanks, the below diff resolves the linker error reported in
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1388

Both readelf implementations seem happy with the results, too.

Nathan,
Can you please test the below diff and see if that resolves your boot
issue reported in:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1384

The only thing that's still different is that the `file` command still
prints "no section header."

$ find . -name \*.lto.o | xargs file | rev | cut -d , -f 1 | rev |
sort | uniq -c
1 no section header
8377 not stripped
1 too many section headers (33683)
1 too many section headers (50758)
$ file --version
file-5.39

That's drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.lto.o, fs/xfs/xfs.lto.o,
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.lto.o, respectively. I'm not sure that's a
problem, yet, and whether 9bc0bb50727c8ac69fbb33fb937431cf3518ff37 is
even related yet; those might just be huge drivers and figured it was
reporting somewhere in case it ever comes up again. CONFIG_LTO
implies -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, and
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION explicitly sets those, too.
