Linking issue with cargo-auditable

[astro]

The nixpkgs repository recently turned on https://github.com/rust-secure-code/cargo-auditable for their Rust packages. It had to be disabled for this project due to its non-standard linker configuration.

It requires to use custom linker scripts and settings because it’s not a standard user space program. I’m not familiar with cargo-auditable, but it seems to add a custom ELF section for storing the binary metadata for reproducible build. If you want to add support for this tool, you need to add a special ELF section to the linker scripts.

NixOS/nixpkgs#228106 (comment) I see. The problem is that the hard-coded ld.lld in the build script. Please create a small PR to replace it without breaking current CI.
