We do not implement this behavior for lld without script (https://reviews.llvm.org/D20024).
Also I thing that requires 2 passes during assignAddress to calculate the required shift for DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN, so it is not so simple also.
(First pass will iterate until meet the first non relro section and calculate the shift, second should shift the location counter at DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN position and reassign addresses again).
Implementing it as this patch do at least should allow this to work now without that overcomplication.
