[PATCH] PR ld/17975: Useless FILE entry in symbol table for linker generated symbols

[Alan Modra]

It turns out there is a complication in my proposal.  When emitting a
relocation against a local symbol, we need to know the index of the
symbol in the output file.  A similar difficulty occurs with group
signature local symbols.  Delaying output of locals means we don't
know their indices.  I think it would be possible to cope with this
but the amount of effort isn't worth the benefit.

Go ahead with your patch.
