The test case here

https://uclibc.org/~kraj/gold-aarch64-crash.tar.xz

there is a small script called doit.sh which executes the link steps using both BFD and gold linkers.

demonstrates the problem in gold, while it works ok with BFD linker. The issue seems to be that when its trying to handle R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15, there is no entry populsted for it in reloc entry table and hence it gets an assert
