Most likely the link stage needs -z notext (e.g. -Wl,-z,notext in LDFLAGS).
Comment 1 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-07-24 19:33:12 UTC 
lld has been enabled as system linker for i386 on stable/12 in advance of 12.1 (base svn r350297, a few minutes ago)
Comment 2 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-06-10 21:05:24 UTC 
Builds fine on i386 -current with lld
