This warning isn't actually coming from the linker, I hope.
I assumed it was coming from a glibc warning section.
The linker itself has no business issuing such warnings. If it is
somehow the linker, the warning should be removed. If it is glibc as
I suspect, the binutils PR should be closed as a glibc bug.
