As you may know location counter is not incremented while we add input sections to output section, and the true size of input sections is known only after call to OutputSectionBase<ELFT>::assignOffsets().


I think we should stop using OutputSection<ELFT>::assignOffsets for
linker scripts. We can assign offsets ourselves and avoid having the
special input section.
