I see. If it's intentional, then I don't really have a
problem with it. This is just something I noticed while
trying to demonstrate the issue with objcopy, which is
the main concern.

However, it it's intentional, then why does GNU ld
produce them on sparc? Why is this different on a
per-platform basis, rather than behaving uniformly
on all platforms? Again, I'm not very concerned about
this, as objcopy is the real issue, but it does seem
inconsistent.

Thanks
