llvm-objcopy currently emits an error if a section to be removed is referenced by another section. This is a reasonable thing to do, but is different to GNU objcopy. We should allow users who know what they are doing to have a way to produce the invalid ELF. This change adds a new switch --allow-broken-links to both llvm-strip and llvm-objcopy to do precisely that. The corresponding sh_link field is then set to 0 instead of an error being emitted. I cannot use llvm-readelf/readobj to test the link fields because they emit an error if any sections, like the .dynsym, cannot be properly loaded.
