Description

lld: work around elftoolchain bug which causes bloated RISCV binaries

The elftoolchain strip(1) command appears to have trouble with the new
.riscv.attributes sections being added by lld 17 to RISCV binaries. This
causes huge 'holes' in the files, making them larger than necessary.

Since nothing in the base system uses the new section yet, patch lld to
leave it out for now.

Direct commit to stable/13, since this intended to go into the 13.3
release, while the elftoolchain bug is being investigated.

Cherry-pick to stable/14 from stable/13 for the 14.1 release; the
bug has not been fixed yet. Hopefully it will be fixed (or the code
replaced) in time for 14.2. When that happens, this can be reverted.
