--- Comment #2 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
.rela.plt in a static executable can only contain IRELATIVE relocations that
must have a zero symbol index.  Thus it is not necessary for that particular
SHT_RELA section to have sh_link index .symtab.  As you recognize, it is also
inconsistent to have a SHF_ALLOC SHT_RELA section sh_link point at a
non-SHF_ALLOC symbol table.  You should probably report this problem as an lld
bug.

That said, objcopy can be fixed without too much trouble, I think.
