            Bug ID: 36205
           Summary: Add --no-check-sections switch
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: ELF
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

One of our internal tests started failing due to r323856, as it relies on
overlapping sections. When investigating a bit more, our team noticed that
ld.bfd has a --no-check-sections switch (and a corresponding --check-sections
switch which is on by default) that disables the error/warning emitted by the
linker when it encounters overlapping sections.

Since this switch would allow the error to be suppressed entirely, and would
not require the slightly more sledgehammer-like --noinhibit-exec, I'd like to
suggest that it be added to LLD too.
