Description
Rust: nightly
build with -Zbuild-std for aarch64-pc-windows-msvc got this warning like below:
note: requested on the command line with -W linker-messages
Building: aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
warning: linker stdout: C:\a\Img\Img\build-dir\aarch64-pc-windows-msvc\src\build\Img\8c598e69be55a61b\deps\Img.exe : warning LNK4072: section count 104 exceeds max (96); image may not run
but arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc has no warning, so weird.
I'm sure it's harmless or not.

Research direction
Reproduce the nightly -Zbuild-std build for aarch64-pc-windows-msvc and compare it with arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc. Start from the linker-messages output and investigate the target-specific LNK4072 warning. Done means establishing whether the warning is harmless and identifying whether Rust should change its behavior or documentation.
