Comment (by simonpj):

 Of the linkers
 * `ld.gold` has this bug; produces valid-looking object code that simply
 doesn't work.  Ben has filed
 [https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22266 this bug report].
 * `ld.lld` crashes on the same repro case. And `gcc` doesn't support
 `lld`.
 * `ld.bfd` is OK on this, but it is slow see #13739.
