No, it's in either gas or gcc, not gld.

To find it you first need to find the offending .o file.  Then we'll look at
the .s it's built from, then possibly walk backwards to the compiler itself
depending on what we find.

To find the offending .o file with a $CODE$ use something like

objdump -h *.o ../../../lib/milli.o > /tmp/BLAH

Then search for $CODE$ in the resulting /tmp/BLAH.  We'll work backwards from
what you find.

Look at trap.c in the Utah code.   It had some of this kind of stuff.  Though
it assumes that you can run long enough to get your own trap handlers
installed.
