the PR ld/17647 issue is now fixed upstream, however upstream recommends not
using ld -r to create these "archives".

"This doesn't look easy to fix.  I'm very tempted to say that people
who use ld -r to package object files deserve to suffer for their
misguided actions..  The underlying problem, with the potential for
nasty exception handling bugs at runtime, has been there since
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2003-02/msg00471.html"

Please address this upstream.
