I don't think that will work.  We only want to trigger if an orphan section
is being referenced solely via its start/stop symbols, and I don't think that
we can determine this in _bfd_elf_is_start_stop.

Still if you have a potential patch to suggest I would be happy to take a look.

I think that the patch should produce a warning/error message, rather than an
abort however, since the user is not doing anything wrong.

Cheers
