        <pre>From the report: [0]

It seems that lld needs an explicit `-m <emulation>`, otherwise will produce
warning when linking the Linux kernel, ex:

ld.lld: error: arch/x86/realmode/rm/header.o is incompatible with elf_x86_64

It seems that the kernel specifies these via `OUTPUT_FORMAT` [1], and bfd and
gold both pick up the emulation mode from those.

We can work around the issue for now in the kernel with an explicit `-m
<emulation>`, but it would be good to delay raising this issue until we have
failed to find an explicit `OUTPUT_FORMAT` as well.
