Description
It doesn't appear that binaryen's AST has a way to include reloc sections. What's everyone doing today with binaryen? (not using LLVM) Didn't see any discussions around a desire to add such support, so curious if perhaps I'm confused.
I guess this probably works in some limited situations as a temporary solution: wasm2wat | wat2wasm --relocatable 😆

Research direction
Start by reviewing Binaryen's AST and the WebAssembly Linking relocation-sections specification linked in the issue. Compare the wasm2wat | wat2wasm --relocatable workaround and determine whether AST-based creation needs explicit relocation-section support; done requires a defined implementation path or confirmed existing workflow.
