Mold 2.3 Linker Allows Removing Superfluous ENDBR64 Instructions

[discordian]

I don't think it's the job of the linker to be fucking with the opcodes produced by the compiler (other than massaging location opcodes), that seems totally out of scope

the compiler might not know whether a target resides literally next to the code or in different dso and needs a few indirections.
alot of problems and inefficiencies could be removed if there had been a proper way to communicate the intent to the linker right from the start (like offering a set of compatible opcodes and the linker can pick the fastest)
