Thanks!

I have tested the linked patch and confirmed it fixes building with my original
linker script and my testcase.

One of the reasons I didn't realize the archive syntax was the right approach
is that path matching behavior seems to be different between the undocumented
form I've been using, and the proper archive form --- again, I don't totally
understand the nuance, but in the testcase, if I move lib1.a into a
subdirectory, "lib.a(*)" matches (pre 2.39, and with this patch), while
"lib1.a:(*)" and "lib1.a:*(*)" _don't_ match (but "*/lib1.a:(*)" and variants
do).

That is surprising to me, but AFAICT is unrelated to this issue.
