Yes, ld.gold and ld.dk silently use non-LTO part of div.o; it's a bug. However,
I don't think that an undefined reference error is not a bug.

1. The testcase compiles well without -flto or with -fno-use-linker-plugin.
2. Imagine a bare-metal program, such as a kernel. When building it, the
standard C library is not used, and compiler-generated calls to memcmp, etc.
are resolved within the program itself. To work around the bug, a library with
these functions must be compiled without -flto.

Again, an unpleasant thing is that the order of linking with LTO differ from
one without LTO, and linkers disagree with each other on this matter.

P.S.: Will ld.hjl be obsoleted by ld.dk? If yes, perhaps fixing it does not
worth a trouble...
