Revised patch

Hi H.J.

  Of course, you are right.  Plus the error message was wrong - it is not
undefined orphan section  symbols that are the problem, it is defined ones. 
Plus, really this ought to be a warning, not an error, since garbage collection
will work if the orphan section is referred to by non start/stop symbols.

  So here is a revised patch.  What do you think ?

Cheers
  Nick
