--- Comment #3 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
Yes, this is a bug.  Linker input object files that don't match the output
format are supposed to be handled by the generic linker backend.  The generic
linker backend lacks many features of the ELF linker backend, in particular for
this case, string merging.  The problem here is caused by the ELF linker
backend incorrectly being used to process string merge sections, which affects
the size of the output section, and then trying to output them using the
generic linker backend.
