I am still getting up to speed with the LLD architecture so maybe I am
missing something, but that seems like a odd place to put it.  I would
think that a Writer would only be focused on serializing atoms to their
respective format.

Since the linker script is an input it would seem more natural to me
to have some sort of linker script Reader that can contribute symbol
definitions, external symbols, new libraries, library search paths,
etc... (to process LD script directives like PROVIDE, EXTERN, INPUT,
GROUP, SEARCH_DIR, and OUTPUT).
