No, that's something else; I haven't seen that problem before.

Note that we've been using lld as the default bootstrap linker (i.e.,
the linker used to link the world and kernel via 'make buildworld' and
'make buildkernel') since Jan 10 (r327783).

Keep in mind that the in-tree ld.bfd was released over a decade ago,
and has been obsolete for years now; a dynamically-linked contemporary
ld.bfd 12MB. lld is much faster than any of them (more than 20x
compared to in-tree ld.bfd on some operations) and all of the target
architectures are supported by a single binary.
