CCed the powerpc maintainer.
I am not familiar with debugging rtld for powerpc64...

R_ARM_GOTOFF32 = S + A - GOT_ORG .
Such a relocation referencing a preemptible symbol cannot be used.
Filed GNU ld bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28501
_dl_argv needs to be made non-preemptible. There are many ways: --dynamic-list, -Bsymbolic, hidden visibility.

LLD's sparcv9 port is for retrocomputing fans:) and is far from usable
(see https://lld.llvm.org/ "production quality").
The GOT/PLT support has quite a few issues (https://reviews.llvm.org/D102985).

lld.llvm.org says "MIPS seems decent too." and I personally know really
little about MIPS.
However, I think this is likely a genuine issue somewhere in sysdeps/mips/ .
Relocation processing is rigid and consistent in LLD.
GNU ld may miss some error checking for some relocation types.

I took a look at LLD's R_MIPS_JALR code and I am inclined to trust it
reporting a genuine issue.

LLD does not implement RISC-V linker relaxation.
R_RISCV_ALIGN has weird linker unfriendly semantics:
simply ignoring the relocation type can break semantics
(https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/issues/183).
>Adding -mno-relax to sysdep-CFLAGS seems to be ineffective.
So sysdep-CFLAGS is not a catch-all option affecting all C compiles...
