It is able to drop the brute KEEP() keyword for some sections, when the
sections are able to link or group together with one of the used
sections.

Some syscalls are actually orphan sections.
SECTION_SHF_LINK_ORDER_SUPPORT or SECTION_SHF_GROUP_SUPPORT creates
references for these sections, eliminating the need for the KEEP()
directive.
