Sure, it should. That's why I added -z nocombreloc which Solaris ld doesn't
have.
But I'd prefer this tested a lot before making it the default.
E.g. it is unclear how it will work together on mips with its own .rel.dyn
handling. I think it should and perhaps the mips special cases could go away
(with the exception of adding a R_MIPS_NONE reloc first), but it needs some
mips hacker to test it out...
(note that unlike this -z combreloc, mips .rel.dyn is sorted strictly by
increasing ELF_R_SYM, which is IMHO a bad decision because of locality).
