+ * elf-bfd.h (_bfd_elf_check_kept_section): New.
+
+ * elf.c (assign_section_numbers): When sh_link points to a
+ discarded section, call _bfd_elf_check_kept_section to see if
+ the kept section can be used. Otherwise reject sh_link
+ pointing to discarded section.
+
+ * elflink.c (_bfd_elf_check_kept_section): New.
+ (elf_link_input_bfd): Use it.

* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_edit_toc): Account for dynamic relocs
