Yes, don't do that.  elflink.c:3268

      /* ld --just-symbols and dynamic objects don't mix very well.
	 Test for --just-symbols by looking at info set up by
	 _bfd_elf_link_just_syms.  */
      if ((s = abfd->sections) != NULL
	  && s->sec_info_type == ELF_INFO_TYPE_JUST_SYMS)
	goto error_return;

But of course doing as I suggested means we don't get sec_info_type
set and the error isn't caught.  So maybe you'd better do

 	* ldlang.c (section_already_linked): Don't call
	bfd_section_already_linked for dynamic objects.

Patch pre-approved.
