--- Comment #1 from Fangrui Song <i at maskray dot me> ---
(I don't have a Fedora machine and I know very little about systemd.)
I was asked why lld doesn't support -dT. I have dug up and found

https://github.com/systemd/package-notes/blob/main/rpm/macros.package-notes-srpm#L52

%_package_note_flags    %[%_package_note_status?"-Wl,%["%_package_note_linker"
!= "lld"?"-dT":"-T"],%{_package_note_file}":""]

According to Debian Code Search (
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5B-%5D%5B-%5Ddefault-script&literal=0&page=1),
no project uses `--default-script` or `Wl,-dT`.

> ld.bfd a.o -T a.lds -dT insert-note.lds --build-id  # ok

I suspect this is the reason
https://github.com/systemd/package-notes/blob/main/rpm/macros.package-notes-srpm#L52
uses -dT. But this appears as an ill advice to me, working around a problem
with an obscure option, instead of making the ld maintainer aware of the
problem.
