> I posted a patch to always define referenced __start_SECNAME/__stop_SECNAME:

That's quite confusing, because originally bug 21557 (wrongly) complained about
those symbols not being defined, and you closed that bug as WONTFIX. If you
changed your mind, can you please update that bug?

I don't see the reason to extend __start_SECNAME auto-provisioning, it seems it
would be simpler to avoid extraneous gc-marking shown in this bug.
