The others we have in sight are
* common symbols.
* entries in SHF_MERGE sections.
They will have a substantially different treatment. It is not clear if it is
worth it putting them all in a single list just to dispatch based on the kind on

I hope to implement common symbols soon, and then we will be in a position
to have a concrete discussion. For now this is simpler for the the implemented
features.

we can avoid allocating the temporary storage.

This is a direct port of the new PE/COFF linker to ELF.
It can take a single object file and generate a valid executable that executes at the first byte in the text section.
