[llvm-dev] Linking Linux kernel with LLD

Looks what really happend is that previously I expected it should have jump to a different startup_64, since there are 2 of them :(

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/212f30008a284a9312d95dad6cc237ff81173d73/arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S#L235
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/5924bbecd0267d87c24110cbe2041b5075173a25/arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S#L50

So looks real place of issue was that one I located today.

George.
