// deals with sparseDatas.

// However, the external API uses sparseHoles instead of sparseDatas because the
// zero value of sparseHoles logically represents a normal file (i.e., there are
// no holes in it). On the other hand, the zero value of sparseDatas implies
// that the file has no data in it, which is rather odd.

// As an example, if the underlying raw file contains the 10-byte data:

//	var compactFile = "abcdefgh"

implement the full semantics of the host linker, so the kinds of
objects that can be linked directly into the binary is limited (other
code can only be used as a dynamic library). On the other hand, when
using internal linking, cmd/link can generate Go binaries by itself.

In order to allow linking arbitrary object files without requiring
dynamic libraries, cgo supports an "external" linking mode too. In
