I think hardcoding a list of all special symbol names is not necessarily bad because the number of such symbols is small. Also, that's what lld does after all.

You still have a loader even for statically-linked executables, no? You don't need a dynamic linker to load a statically-linked executable, but either it is in a kernel or not, you still need a loader to map an executable to memory.
