            Bug ID: 30063
           Summary: inadequate error messages on wrong input file
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.39
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

test case

$ ld -melf_i386 -shared --whole-archive libc.a

(libc.a is from attachment)
This generates many "undefined reference"
errors, which is weird with "-shared" and
cannot be suppressed with "-z undefs" or
any other options.
Both lld and gold produce the right message:
"ld.lld: error: libc.a(acos.O): not an ELF file"
