I would love to see
https://inbox.sourceware.org/binutils/20240905111452.2554-1-hjl.tools@gmail.com/
in.

I have been using it locally for several months now. It is not yet in
the Gentoo patchset, though. We can add it in and then report back
results for the next Binutils cycle if preferred.

thanks,
