  le-archive built-in.a --no-whole-archive --start-group lib/lib.a --end-group
  powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.data..Lubsan_data393' from `init/main.o' being placed in section `.data..Lubsan_data393'.
  powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.data..Lubsan_data394' from `init/main.o' being placed in section `.data..Lubsan_data394'.
