[Bug ld/948] New: Wrong LMA for section with empty input section.

[fabrice_gautier at sdesigns dot com]

When an output section is empty, the AT() attribute is ignored and LMA=VMA in
the output file. The LOADADDR(section) expression returns the correct value
nonetheless.

This is not really a problem when the section is really empty, ie size=0, but
its a real problem when the section is not of size=0 because of an .=ALIGN(4)
statement for example.

In this case doing a simple objcopy -O binary a.out a.bin will cause an enormous
a.bin.
