There is no direct way, although there should be: for instance,
some additional flag such that "ld -r" would resolve what it could,
instead of just accumulating the relocations for later resolution.
There might be a work-around, however. Run "ld -r", then run
"objcopy --strip-symbol=foo". If objcopy interprets this favorably,
then objcopy must resolve the relocations that depend on 'foo'.
