This looks amazing, I just gave it a try but sadly got this:

    /usr/bin/ld: crt.o: unable to initialize decompress status for section .debug_aranges

This on a WSL2 Ubuntu 18.04 install with gcc 7.5.0. Any ideas what the problem could be?

I have the same problem also in 18.04 with gcc 7.5 - it's a bug in binutils:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binutils_2.32_upgrade_notes/elf...

I have been unable to find a backported package for 2.32 or better as a deb or ppa and there's no ways I'm installing binutils from source in case I clobber my build system. Any ideas?

Works fine for me on Ubuntu 20.04 (also WSL2) and binutils 2.34. Have you tried updating binutils to newer version? (>=2.32)
