[Bug ld/6727] Thumb interworking code zero when another section is positioned before positioning .text

i narrowed down the exact situation when Thumb interworking code is zero.

- when you position any section, say .data, before you position .text
  using --section-start or -Tdata for other sections and -Ttext for .text,
- when Thumb interworking is enabled
- when --gc-sections is enabled

at that time, Thumb interworking code is zero.
it does not matter if the offending section is finally garbage collected or not.

WORKAROUND
- position .text before .data/other section on ld command line.
