You can force ld to truncate names by using --disable-long-section-names. But
you are right that the normal behavior is against the specification.

With respect to gcc an the "-g" option where all section names starting with
.debug_ (= seven characters) are larger than eight characters, you can choose
between a specification violated file or truncated debug sections with multiple
appearances. For example both .debug_aranges and .debug_abbrev will be .debug_a
so there are two .debug_a sections, I am not sure if this is a problem.
I don't know how gdb handle this but IDA 5.0 cannot handle either of them but
it could using the coff object files.
