ecb5ea6a26tried to fix cases when LLD links what seems to be import library header objects from MSVC. However, the fix seems incorrect; the review at https://reviews.llvm.org/D133627 concluded that if this (treating this kind of symbol as a common symbol) is what link.exe does, it's fine. However, this is most probably not what link.exe does. The symbol mentioned in the commit message ofecb5ea6a26would be a common symbol with a size of around 3 GB; this is not what might have been intended. That commit tried to avoid running into the error ".idata$4 should not refer to special section 0"; that issue is fixed for a similar style of section symbols in4a4a8a1476. Therefore, revertecb5ea6a26and extend the fix from4a4a8a1476to also work for the section symbols in MSVC generated import libraries. The main detail about them, is that for symbols of type IMAGE_SYM_CLASS_SECTION, the Value field is not an offset, but it is an optional set of flags, corresponding to the Characteristics of the section header (although it may be empty). This is a reland of a previous version of this commit, earlier merged in9457418e66/ #122811. The previous version failed tests when run with address sanitizer. The issue was that the synthesized coff_symbol_generic object actually will be used to access a full coff_symbol16 or coff_symbol32 struct, see DefinedCOFF::getCOFFSymbol. Therefore, we need to make a copy of the full size of either of them.
