> The name ".got" is special.
That's true, but that isn't the whole reason why you are seeing this behaviour.
The real reason is that your testcase is attempting to create non-allocated
sections. These normally appear after allocated sections when linking.
Because .got is known to be an "aw" section gas creates your relocatable object
file with .got being SHF_WRITE and SHF_ALLOC.
So not a linker bug. Possibly could be characterized as an assembler bug, but
I see it as a feature that a needed flag is automatically added. Users often
leave off the flags entirely. gas will warn if you specify wrong flags for
known sections, eg. "ax" for .got.
