 This is an LD bug in the fix for PR ld/26047, so let's not invent hacks 
to work it around.  I have filed PR ld/26288 and I'm currently verifying a 
fix along with a couple of test cases with the intent to have it all 
included with the upcoming binutils 2.35 release currently scheduled this 
coming Sat.

 Cf. <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26288>.
