I don't think we want to assert whenever the linker sees a DSO with a symbol that is not STT_FUNC or STT_OBJECT.  We need to track that is it neither.  So, later if a R_X86_64_32S  is used, it will turn into a PLT (for code) or R_X86_64_COPY (for data) and a linker error for anything else.  But an "unknown" DSO symbol can be used with other kinds of relocations.

Sorting fields biggest to smallest reduces the amount of implicit alignment padding the compiler might add.   That said, will R_X86_64_COPY even work with a size > 4GB?
