Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fixes: #23906
Refs: #22079

This change to ld.implicit.script moves libc static code to
.lpstub area and avoids the issue detailed in 23906

Quick performance comparision on web-tooling shows 3%
improvement for the combination over fully-static
