x86/build: Fix linker fill bytes quirk/incompatibility for ld.lld
With ":text =0xcccc", ld.lld fills unused text area with 0xcccc0000. Example objdump -D output: ffffffff82b04203: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) ffffffff82b04205: cc int3 ffffffff82b04206: cc int3 ffffffff82b04207: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) ffffffff82b04209: cc int3 ffffffff82b0420a: cc int3 Replace it with ":text =0xcccccccc", so we get the following instead: ffffffff82b04203: cc int3 ffffffff82b04204: cc int3 ffffffff82b04205: cc int3 ffffffff82b04206: cc int3 ffffffff82b04207: cc int3 ffffffff82b04208: cc int3 gcc/ld doesn't seem to have the same issue. The generated code stays the same for gcc/ld.
