Problem
When linking LLD calls finalizeSections, where it assigns the size of the program header table based on the number of program headers:
llvm-project/lld/ELF/Writer.cpp
Lines 2026 to 2027 in cefd647
But after that, it removes empty PT_LOAD headers:
llvm-project/lld/ELF/Writer.cpp
Lines 336 to 340 in cefd647
So effectively the number of headers changes, but the size of the table does not.
Solution
Recalculate the size of the program header table after removing empty headers.
