I think I found the problem. build_link_order () is called very
late. Before that, the input section list of the output section
is always empty. When we strip a linkonce section,
_bfd_strip_section_from_output removes the corresponding output
section by mistake since its input section list is empty. I don't
know what the best fix is.

Thanks.
