/// only participate in linking if they can satisfy at least one undefined reference (version

/// can't keep them either. This causes #47384.
///
/// To keep them around, we could use `--whole-archive` and equivalents to force rlib to
/// participate in linking like object files, but this proves to be expensive (#93791). Therefore
/// we instead just introduce an undefined reference to them. This could be done by `-u` command
/// line option to the linker or `EXTERN(...)` in linker scripts, however they does not only
/// introduce an undefined reference, but also make them the GC roots, preventing `--gc-sections`
/// from removing them, and this is especially problematic for embedded programming where every
/// byte counts.
///
/// This method creates a synthetic object file, which contains undefined references to all symbols
/// that are necessary for the linking. They are only present in symbol table but not actually
/// used in any sections, so the linker will therefore pick relevant rlibs for linking, but
