GNU ld <= 2.35 does not support mixed SHF_LINK_ORDER and non-SHF_LINK_ORDER sections.

This is about the relative w.r.t. other sections when the linker merges the sections. From what I can find, we need to retain SHF_LINK_ORDER to support gc-sections properly.

This is a good summary: https://maskray.me/blog/2021-01-31-metadata-sections-comdat-and-shf-link-order

I'm going to try and see how I can add the SHF_LINK_ORDER attribute to the section output for the dummy variable.
