Good analysis.  This sounds like a compiler bug.  If the compiler uses
.gnu.linkonce.b*, it is responsible for making sure that the section
has no actual contents.  Can you find out what is causing the compiler
to create that section?  Then looked at the generated assembler file,
and see how the compiler is using the .section pseudo-op, and what it
is putting in the section.
