Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure for the arm64e-apple-ios, arm64e-apple-tvos, or arm64e-apple-darwin targets with -Zbuild-std, using the reported Rust nightly version and linker diagnostics as the baseline. Done means the affected target links successfully without the INVALID relocation errors.
