We might be able to do something like recognize that LINK refers to a section
that is not of type STRTAB (and then fall back to looking for .dynsym's
string table).
I don't know what else would work.
Note that we already do workarounds like that in other cases. For
example, the Oracle libraries on Solaris have a similar bug (or at
least they used to): the link field of the SHT_RELA sections does not
point to the appropriate symbol table. You can see the workaround in
bfd_section_from_shdr in bfd/elf.c.
