For example in https://reviews.llvm.org/D35680 I am storing pointer to PT_LOAD segment instead of pointer to output section.
When we have vector of PhdrEntry (by value) it is hard to work with pointers on elements, because resize/remove operations
applied to vector may/will break the pointer value. If we have vector of pointers instead, it solves this problem easily.



================
Comment at: ELF/LinkerScript.cpp:802-805
   auto FirstPTLoad = llvm::find_if(
-      Phdrs, [](const PhdrEntry &E) { return E.p_type == PT_LOAD; });
+      Phdrs, [](const PhdrEntry *E) { return E->p_type == PT_LOAD; });
   if (FirstPTLoad == Phdrs.end())
     return;
----------------

Yes, this looks better.
