It's even worse I am trying to cherry pick https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/74686 and https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/79238 onto llvm-15 (although llvm-17 is next).

I looked into cherry picking https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/1981b1b6b92f7579a30c9ed32dbdf3bc749c1b40, but it touches a lot of code that is not even in llvm-15. Thus I was wondering if check is possible some other way.

So without this LLD will tombstone some addresses in a .debug section OR if dead-reloc-in-nonalloc is specified, correct?
