[Bug ld/5391] New: ld does not produce magic symbols with names like __start_* and __stop_*,

[Petr dot Salinger at seznam dot cz]

The previous versions of ld used to produce symbols __start_foo and __stop_foo
visible in "readelf -a a.out" output for following snippet:

        .text
        .globl  _start
        .type   _start,@function
        .section "foo"
_start:
        ret

This does not work anymore, it breaks building of kernel modules in FreeBSD.
