`mold 2.33.0` produced illformed shared object with `--retain-symbols-file`

Using mold for linking vlc (aarch64/linux) resulted in a couple of plugins (although most appear to be fine) to be illformed as reported by strip:
$ strip libtaglib_plugin.so
strip: warning: libtaglib_plugin.so has a section extending past end of file
strip: libtaglib_plugin.so: file format not recognized
Appears to be caused by use of --retain-symbols-file or at least dropping it produces correct shared object. Attached sample file for which symbol file has 3 entries:
vlc_entry__3_0_0f
vlc_entry_copyright__3_0_0f
vlc_entry_license__3_0_0f

Does the above change work?

vlc linked fine, stripped fine and works fine so looks like it's fixed. Thanks!

Thank you for confirming!
