Chimera Linux applied patch [1] to allow build without binutils.

Consider pulling [1] from cports, as this would allow to build NSS when LLV=
M IR
is generated which is not understood by binutils. This is prerequisite for =
e.g.
ThinLTO (LTO (fat LTO) !=3D ThinLTO) or -fsanitize for CFI.

I can't test build or runtime at the moment, but NSS with [1] applied used =
to
build on Gentoo here (musl + LLVM without binutils or gcc, global ThinLTO).=
