Thanks

    It is wrong. Can you upload a reproduce file somewhere?
    (LLD_REPRODUCE=/tmp/rep.tar ld.lld ....   or ld.lld

[llvm-dev] lld error: output file too large <some large number>

Actually it is the combination of -Ttext 0x0 and --no-rosegment that cause the
problem. You can reproduce using any c file using following:
clang test.c -fuse-ld=lld -Wl,-Ttext,0x0 -Wl,--no-rosegment

[llvm-dev] lld error: output file too large <some large number>

This is a common pitfall: people think that .text is the first section
of the traditional concept "text segment" (which does not apply with
LLD layout and GNU ld's -z separate-code layout)
You need to use --image-base=0
