that bug is different, that's about object symbols

(swift seems to misuse protected visibility objects,
and instead of fixing the problem they switched to the
gold linker which does not yet have the bfd linker fix,
such incompetence is frustrating..  however the issue
does not affect musl: we don't mark objects protected
to avoid issues with broken toolchains.)

some flags are missing here.. e.g. freestanding flags

execve is a protected function symbol, so it should be bound locally,
i think R_X86_64_PC32 is ok for that, so it's not clear to me what
goes wrong..
