I updated users/hjl/check_relocs branch to call check_relocs after opening
all inputs.  Also garbage collection doesn't need to undo what check_relocs
has done for symbols which have been garbage collected.    Since ELF
targets never see the removed sections, there is no need for gc_sweep_hook.
I removed gc_sweep_hook from elf_backend_data.

There are no regressions on all ELF targets I tested.

Please test this branch on your favorite native targets and let me know
if you run into any regressions.

Thanks.
