I think most things are working in GNU ld...
/* a.x */ SECTIONS { .rela.pltfoo : { a.o(.rela.plt) } /* *(.rela.plt) with lld */ .rela.dynfoo : { a.o(.rela.data) } /* *(.rela.dyn) with lld */ }
% cat <<e > a.s .globl foo foo: call bar .data .quad quz e % as a.s -o a.o % ld.bfd -T a.x a.o -shared -o a.so
