<pre>
    In an attemp to make LLD as default linker in a yocto distro,
when using lld/riscv64 from clang 16.0.6 several packages are failing to link with below error 

```
riscv64-yoe-linux-ld.lld: error: section size decrease is too large
```

I have collected all objects and libs into a single place to reproduce it. test case is here 
https://uclibc.org/~kraj/lld-riscv-fail.tar.xz

Inside the tarball there is a script called `a.sh` when run `sh ./a.sh`  shows the problem. 
it links fine with bfd linker, it also linked fine with lld if `--no-relax` option is added to it.

@MaskRay any ideas ?
