This improves the portability of the linker script and allows lld to link rom.o
Dot assignment inside an output section has an inconsistent behavior
which makes lld difficult to implement.
See https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43083
Dropping `. =` turns out to be beneficial to older GNU ld
lld requires output section descriptions to be sorted by address.
Just sort the addresses beforehand.

It does not make sense to reference a SHF_ALLOC section from a
non-SHF_ALLOC section via R_386_PC16. Conceptually, even if a
non-SHF_ALLOC is loaded as part of the memory image, the distance
between it and a SHF_ALLOC section may not be a constant, so the linker
cannot reasonably resolve the

is difficult to emulate in llvm-objdump. (llvm-objdump -h has a
