<pre>
    When attempting to instrument a RISC-V binary using LLVM-BOLT, the process fails with an architecture mismatch error during the linking phase. BOLT correctly identifies the target as RISC-V but fails when trying to link what appears to be an x86_64 object file.

Environment:
LLVM-BOLT Version: 569b6f6dade6a1a1b758d982bcd9d91abafb787f
Target Architecture: riscv64
Host Architecture: x86_64
Toolchain: riscv-gnu-toolchain with clang
OS: Ubuntu (ThinkCentre)

File: loop_test.c
```c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
 int sum = 0;
    
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
        sum += i;
    }
    
    printf("Sum: %d\n", sum);
    return 0;
}
```


Steps to Reproduce:
Compile a simple C program for RISC-V:
`/home/simon/diskWD/riscv-gnu-toolchain/install/bin/clang loop_test.c -Wl,--emit-relocs -o loop_test_rv_llvm`
Attempt to instrument the binary with BOLT:
`/home/simon/diskWD/riscv-gnu-toolchain/install/bin/llvm-bolt loop_test_rv_llvm -instrument -o instrumented_loop_test_rv_llvm -instrumentation-file=without_pgo_loop_test_rv_llvm.fdata`
BOLT fails with the following error:
```
