Just to be clear, that does not make sense as written.  If the plugin
does not claim a file, it should not then pass it back to the linker.

In fact, if the plugin claims all files, then as far as I can see your
new ld_plugin_input_file field is not required.  And if the plugin does
not claim all files, I don't see how this can work.
