Bug 2119383

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2119380 +++

Description of problem:
binutils are not able to correctly read objects and binaries compiled with "clang -flto".

I tested this in RHEL-9.0 and Fedora 34+. In those environments the output is as expected.

This is reproducible in every supported arch.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "void lto_function(){}" | clang -flto -O2 -c -x c -o foo.o -
2. nm foo.o
3. ar crs foo.a foo.o
4. readelf -c foo.a

Actual results:
[root@hpe-apollo-cn99xx-14-vm-25 ~]# echo "void lto_function(){}" | clang -flto -O2 -c -x c -o foo.o -
[root@hpe-apollo-cn99xx-14-vm-25 ~]# nm foo.o
nm: foo.o: file format not recognized
[root@hpe-apollo-cn99xx-14-vm-25 ~]# ar crs foo.a foo.o
[root@hpe-apollo-cn99xx-14-vm-25 ~]# readelf -c foo.a
foo.a has no archive index
readelf: foo.a: Error: foo.a: unable to dump the index as none was found

Expected results:
$  echo "void lto_function(){}" | clang -flto -O2 -c -x c -o foo.o -
$ nm foo.o
00000000 T lto_function
$ ranlib foo.a foo.o
ranlib: foo.o: file format not recognized
$ ar crs foo.a foo.o
$ readelf -c foo.a
Index of archive foo.a: (1 entries, 0xe bytes in the symbol table)
Contents of binary foo.a(foo.o) at offset 0x5a
        lto_function
