This is inteded to be applied with the other patches in the series, the ones
beginning with "[PATCH v2] ld: Generate PDB string table" at
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-November/thread.html.

Sorry, this probably wasn't obvious from a mail client. I've not numbered
them as I'm not sure how many more there'll be, and if I wait for the previous
patches to be accepted before submitting the next, I'll almost certainly miss
the cut-off for the code freeze.

 > Why / when would in->outsymbols be NULL but in->symcount be non-zero?

Try running the test in the DEBUG_S_LINES patch without this one - it'll fail
because ld segfaults. outsymbols doesn't get set from within generate_reloc
for the second object file, as it only has one non-loadable section. The
"symbols" come from the .equs I'm using like #defines.

 > And if that was possible, why would it not also be possible that the
 > array is smaller than in->symcount?

bfd_generic_link_read_symbols is called for each loadable section, and
allocates the outsymbols array once. It was my mistake when I submitted my
original patch for populate_publics_stream, in not realizing that it would
break for object files without any loadable sections.
