Ah yes I built the version in unstable (9.7.1-2).

9.7.1-3~exp1 fails with the same error as trilinos bug #1112274:

 /usr/lib/aarld.mold: ./src/thunks.cc:217: void mold::OutputSection<E>::create_range_extension_thunks(mold::Context<E>&) [with E = mold::ARM64LE]: Assertion `thunk.size() < max_thunk_size' failed.

I tried both with and without adding -ffunction-sections to LDFLAGS,
same error.
