I used `musl-clang -Oz -flto -s -fuse-ld=musl-clang-lld-static -Wl,—plugin-opt=O3,-O3 hello.c` to produce the executable.

Content of `/usr/local/musl/bin/ld.musl-clang-lld-static` is same as the generated `ld.musl-clang`, except for the last line, which I modified it to:

    exec $($cc -print-prog-name=ld.lld) -nostdlib “$@“ -static -lc -dynamic-linker “$ldso”

This is not a static-linked program. decode_dyn is part of the dynamic
linker. It looks to me like you've created some sort of weird hybrid
executable that's not valid. Can you show the command lines you used
to produce it?

Also please keep list on CC when replying.
