I did not try booting yet, because there are still problems with linking. Without this change linker just crashes in

  void OutputSection<ELFT>::addSection(InputSectionBase<ELFT> *C)
  ..
  auto *S = cast<InputSection<ELFT>>(C); // Here

because we are trying to add MergeableInputSection here.

After that change in combination with other patches that are on review at least lld completes linking. And there are post-link issues still:
