Ugh, fair enough :D Without it, FG-KASLR is broken, GCC-LTO is
broken, but none of them is in the mainline.
I recall there were some folks with LLD for which this $(head-y)
removal caused issues as well. But if they're quiet now, seems like
they don't hardly need it.
But not every fix is a fix only when it's easy to find a repro,
right...? But at least such are not urgent, you're correct here.
