Hi John,

Hang on - I must stop you there.  These section names are nothing to do with
Red Hat.  (Despite my email address, I wear two hats, and at the moment I am
wearing my FSF hat).  Plus these names *are* public.  You will find the .lbss, 
.ldata and .lrodata section s documented in the Solaris linker manual for 
example:

  https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E26507/chapter7-1.html

Or in this book from google:

Cheers
