[llvm-dev] [LLD] Is there any reason to add _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to .dynsym?

[Rafael Espíndola via llvm-dev]

How is it used, btw?

To me it looked to be a gas hack that became visible. R_386_GOTPC and
similar should be able to just use an r_sym of 0, no?

But in lld we have to handle current files with _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_,
and yes, no objections do dropping it from any table.

Cheers,
Rafael
