Package: llvm-21

Dear Maintainer,
llvm-objdump-21 segfaults when I attempt to extract the offload sections from an object file, rocsparse_axpyi.cpp.o. This object file was created by building rocSPARSE 7.1.0 with --offload-compress enabled. A copy of the object file is included in the upstream bug report. The problem occurs with both the upstream LLVM and the Debian package.
```
# LLVM_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-21/bin/llvm-symbolizer llvm-objdump-21 --offloading rocsparse_axpyi.cpp.o
rocsparse_axpyi.cpp.o: file format elf64-x86-64
PLEASE submit a bug report to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ and include the crash backtrace.

It's noteworthy that this does not occur with llvm-22:
```

```
I suspect that the problem is related to uncompressing the offload
bundles as there is a different error when operating on a shared object
library. The log below is based on the upstream objdump, but I've seen
the same results with the Debian package.
```

```
Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
