--- Comment #5 from NGG <ngg at tresorit dot com> ---
This is not an enhancement request, it is clearly a bug.
The ELF header is perfectly valid the way lld creates it, and strip reduces its
security.

This is why Chromium on Android switched to elfutils strip (see
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/644908)
It also affects my project where I want to separate debug symbols after linking
and I also want to use lld's thin-lto optimizations.
Also embedded and source-based Linux distros will not be able to support lld
without either fixing this or switching to an alternative.
