The linker has a null pointer dereference that I hit while compiling a UEFI kernel. It was fixed upstream in https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25900 . Please backport the patch in the linked URL, or this can be closed when binutils is updated to 2.35. Reproducible: Always

I pushed it to 2.34 without a revbump. You might need to rebuild binutils explicitly to get the fix until we revbump it when enough changes accumulate.
