Since value of non-preemptible absolute symbol (SHN_ABS) won't change,
only relocations, which can be resolved as absolute value + addend, and
GOTPCREL relocations, where absolute value + addend is stored in the GOT
slot, against non-preemptible absolute symbol are allowed in PIE and
shared library.
Also convert load relocation to R_386_32, R_X86_64_32S or R_X86_64_32 for
relocation against non-preemptible absolute symbol. Don't convert to
R_X86_64_32S nor R_X86_64_32 for non-preemptible absolute symbol if they
overflow.

When you have a Thumb only PLT then the address in the GOT for PLT0 needs to
have the Thumb bit set since the instruction used in PLTn to get there is
`ldr.w pc` which is an inter-working instruction:
the PLT sequence in question is
00000120 <foo@plt>:
120: f240 0c98 movw ip, #152 ; 0x98
124: f2c0 0c01 movt ip, #1
128: 44fc add ip, pc
12a: f8dc f000 ldr.w pc, [ip]
12e: e7fc b.n 12a <foo@plt+0xa>
Disassembly of section .text:
00000130 <bar>:
130: b580 push {r7, lr}
132: af00 add r7, sp, #0
134: f7ff fff4 bl 120 <foo@plt>
and previously the linker would generate
Hex dump of section '.got':
...
0x000101b8 40010100 00000000 00000000 10010000 @...............
Which would make it jump and transition out of thumb mode and crash since you
only have thumb mode on such cores.
Now it correctly generates
Hex dump of section '.got':
...
0x000101b8 40010100 00000000 00000000 11010000 @...............

When I previously changed these offsets I had incorrectly used an offset of -2
for this Thumb2 PLT. Unfortunately because we had no tests for this PLT I had
missed that the result was incorrect.
This patch fixes the offset to PC .-4 so that it correctly addresses the
previous instruction and adds a test for this PLT stub.

* mmo.c (mmo_scan): Create .text section only when needed, not
from the start.
For the test-case at hand, the .data section is created and output
first by the linker, but the mmo input-reader mmo_scan always creates
a .text section. Since sections are output in the order in which
they're created, it's output first, breaking the assumption that
obcopy without options (or with -p) creates output identical to its
input. The point of creating it at the top of mmo_scan is a trivial
default assignment for the current section variable "sec". Instead we
now defer the default, creating it only when needed and sec is NULL.

I doubt anyone will want to create more than 16M debug location

indices and of course fuzzers find that and attempt allocation of up

Since LTO plugin may generate more than one ltrans.o file from one input
