[Bug ld/349] ld -r silently renames sections

Note the difference between the original description and your response: The
original text is talking about a difference in allocation flags (one section has
the SHF_ALLOC flag set, the other [identically named in another object file]
doesn't), while you're talking about compatible flags (which these aren't).
The thing is that current behavior results in entirely different behavior when,
using in both cases the same linker script mentioning the questionable section,
(a) linking the original object files into an executable and (b) combining the
original object files into intermediate object files and only then linking those
into an executable. I continue to believe that in these two scenarios the
outcome should be the same, requiring that the linker does not rename one of the
two input sections when using -r.
