Linker error, unknown relocation against symbol

[N00byEdge]

I don't know what causes this yet. Possibly an LLVM issue?

Can be reproduced by Sabaton, branch zig-update, run zig build virt

It looks as if there is a target architecture - relocation type mismatch somewhere. What architecture is this targeting? Relocation type 309 is defined for aarch64 only and defined as R_AARCH64_GOT_LD_PREL19.

This is targetting aarch64. Okay, if it's GOT related, I guess also my setup is wrong because this is supposed to link statically. But seems like there still is a zig issue because it shouldn't pass on bad metadata to llvm (is the linker targetting x86 instead or something?)
