mold failure vs lld, ld when building libxcrypt 4.50. 4.50.1 with lto enabled

As discussed at https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt/issues/213 and https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt/pull/215#issuecomment-3497388021

I can confirm that building 4.5.1 with llvm 21's lld succeeds, but building with the current version of mold fails.

I just built libxcrypt with mold and got the following warnings. Are these the cause of the build failure (along with --fatal-warnings)? If that's the case, you want to fix the warning instead of silencing them. We warn on nonexistent symbols in a version script file because otherwise it would be very hard to find typos in symbol names in a version script file.

Those are the errors I see, yes!
