I've got a minor suggestion, no strong opinions though. 

I think it might be worth commenting separately about splitSections as it isn't obvious why it is where it is. Something like:
```
  // Split SHF_MERGE and .eh_frame sections into pieces in preparation for garbage collection.
  splitSections<ELFT>();
  // Garbage collection and removal of unused shared objects from dependencies.
  markLive<ELFT>();
  demoteSharedSymbols();
```
