[BOLT] Crash with -update-debug-sections when optimizing CPython on Fedora 43 with LLVM 21.1.4 #166863
Description
Hello,
On a Fedora 43 machine with llvm 21.1.4, binutils 2.45 and glibc 2.42, compiling CPython with Bolt produces a crash.
The build was successful on F42 with llvm 20.1.8, binutils 2.44 and glibc 2.41.
Reproducer for Fedora 43:
git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git
git checkout 3.14
CC=clang ./configure --enable-bolt && make -j

dnl At least LLVM 19.x doesn't support computed gotos in PIC compiled code.
dnl Exclude functions containing computed gotos.
dnl TODO this may be fixed in LLVM 20.x via https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/120267.Maybe related issue: #67966
