With LTO enabled, ld.lld generates multiple .text sections for
purgatory.ro:
$ readelf -S purgatory.ro | grep " .text"
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00000040
[ 7] .text.purgatory PROGBITS 0000000000000000 000020e0
[ 9] .text.warn PROGBITS 0000000000000000 000021c0
[13] .text.sha256_upda PROGBITS 0000000000000000 000022f0
[15] .text.sha224_upda PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00002be0
[17] .text.sha256_fina PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00002bf0
[19] .text.sha224_fina PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00002cc0

AFAICT, x86 is the only arch that supports LTO and purgatory.
