[Bug binutils/11133] Static linking with gc-sections deletes sections with __start/__stop reference

I think this is a glibc bug.  There isn't any good reason why a reference to a
__start_section/__stop_section symbol in an output section should affect garbage
collection of input sections, except of course that it works around this glibc
--gc-sections problem.  I can imagine other situations where a user has a
reference to __start_section but wants the current linker behaviour.
