We probably need to kill ld.bfd before 12.0. It predates ifunc and so interprets anything with an ifunc as requiring a copy relocation. This means that if you use it to link against any shared library (like, say, libc.so.7 in FreeBSD 12.0) that uses ifuncs then it will insert a relocation so that the ifunc resolver (which contains PC-relative addresses of other functions) will be copied into the main binary. This then causes your program to crash the first time anything calls memcpy, in a very difficult-to-debug way (it jumps into a random bit of your main binary, runs for a bit, and then dies).
