Re: [PATCH] ld: Don't treated the fatal error as warning

This discussion confirms that a patch has been applied to the linker (ld) to correct its error handling. Previously, fatal errors might have been misinterpreted as warnings due to how they were passed to the vfinfo function. The change ensures that fatal errors are consistently reported as such, aligning with expected behavior and improving diagnostic clarity.
