[PATCH] D55423: [LLD][ELF] - A fix for "linker script assignment loses relative nature of section" bug.

Thanks for the test suggestion, that looks good to me. My understanding is that this would unblock the Linux Kernel  KASLR build on AArch64. The upstream linux maintainers are not willing to change the linker script for what seems like a linker limitation/bug.

My understanding is that only the Arm and AArch64 Linux kernel's are actively using LLD right now and the Linker script is specific to those builds so this half-fix in practice would be a step forward.
