I believe glibc is the exception here, not musl. When I looked at
this, every other operating system I tried used the program name for
the first object.
I attempted to fix this generically here:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D119515
Unfortunately, it seems to have caused some breakage and got reverted,
but I wasn't able to reproduce it and nobody offered any pointers
about how I might go about reproducing it. Any help moving forward
with that would be appreciated.
