Hi,

Thank you for your response!

I am here to respond on behalf of Memet Zx.

I was following Memet's build before he reported this issue. I tried
to reproduce the error on my server, but I couldn't reproduce it as
well. It seems the error is specific to Memet's environment.

FWIW, my build commands are as follows:
```
  wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh -O /tmp/llvm.sh;
  sudo bash /tmp/llvm.sh 17;
  sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/bin/clang++-17 400;
  sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/bin/clang-17 400;

  export LLVM=-17;
  export LLVM_IAS=1;

  # Fill .config file with Memet's config file.

  make -j$(nproc) olddefconfig;
  make -j$(nproc) bindeb-pkg;
```

The steps above are the same as Memet's, but I didn't face the issue.
So yeah, it seems to be specific to Memet's environment. I'll discuss
this further with Memet off-list.

My server survived in the OBJCOPY step, unlike Memet's, and it
finished the debian packaging without fatal errors (despite it shows
warnings):

```

We will send a follow up if we find that it's related to LLVM. But for
now let's assume something is wrong with Memet's server environment.

Thank you!
