I can't judge whether or under what conditions this might not be true, but I
can't immediately see why it wouldn't be.
Independent of that, (silently) renaming a section seems unacceptable to me. The
more that in ELF one doesn't even have to, since sections are not solely
identified by their name, but instead the pair (name, flags) serves as the full
identification. Thus I believe that not only the renaming is a problem in ld,
but also the combining of what you call compatible sections (instead, if names
match but flags are different, two output sections should be generated).
