When using -mcmodel=medium, large data objects larger than the -mlarge-data-threshold threshold are placed into large data sections (.lrodata, .ldata, .lbss and some variants). GNU ld and ld.lld 17 place .l* sections into separate output sections. If small and medium code model object files are mixed, the .l* sections won't exert relocation overflow pressure on sections in object files built with -mcmodel=small.
However, when using -mcmodel=large, -mlarge-data-threshold doesn't apply. This means that the .rodata/.data/.bss sections may exert relocation overflow pressure on sections in -mcmodel=small object files. This patch allows -mcmodel=large to generate .l* sections.
