https://github.com/alx32 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/86878
Previously, `makeSyntheticInputSection` would create a new `ConcatInputSection` without setting `live` explicitly for it. Without `-dead_strip` this would be OK since `live` would default to `true`.
However, with `-dead_strip`, `live` would default to false, and it would remain set to false.
This hasn't resulted in any issues so far since no code paths that exposed this issue were present.
However a recent change - ObjC relative method lists (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/86231) exposes this issue by creating relocations to the `SyntheticInputSection`.
When these relocations are attempted to be written, this ends up with a crash, since the `SyntheticInputSection` is marked as dead (`live` = `false`).
With this change, we set the correct behavior - `live` will always be true. We add a test case that before this change would crash the linker.
