Summary

There is a bug in lld which on some occasions causes InputFile::ArchiveName to store incorrect value. This happens because library name allocated on stack then converted to StringRef and assigned to member variable.

I think a better approach would be to change the type of ArchiveName from StringRef to std::string. This patch may fix the issue, but I'm not 100% sure because it fixes only one path that can reach addFile function. There might be some other places at which we pass on-stack objects to the function.

Test case?

Any suggestions how to implement it?

I think you can remove test/ELF/Inputs/whole-archive-name.s because you only need single .s file. Since --whole-archive links everything, you don't need to pass any .o file. I.e. you can just pass an .a file.
