[GOLD] final_layout test on ppc32


This test is failing on 32-bit powerpc with

00000c1c S global_vara
00000c20 S global_varb
00000c24 S global_varc

not matching the requested section layout

*_Z3barv*
.text._Z3bazv
*_Z3foov*
*global_varb*
*global_vara*
*global_varc*

Apparently this is because these vars are in .sbss rather than .bss
sections
  [ 4] .sbss.global_vara NOBITS          00000000 000034 000004 00  WA  0   0  4
  [ 5] .sbss.global_varb NOBITS          00000000 000034 000004 00  WA  0   0  4
  [ 6] .sbss.global_varc NOBITS          00000000 000034 000004 00  WA  0   0  4
and there is no mention of .sbss in the linker script.

That results in these sections being placed in separate output
sections
.sbss.global_vara
                0x00000bf0        0x4
 .sbss.global_vara
                0x00000bf0        0x4 final_layout.o
                0x00000bf0                global_vara

.sbss.global_varb
                0x00000bf4        0x4
 .sbss.global_varb
                0x00000bf4        0x4 final_layout.o
                0x00000bf4                global_varb

.sbss.global_varc
                0x00000bf8        0x4
 .sbss.global_varc
                0x00000bf8        0x4 final_layout.o
                0x00000bf8                global_varc

So... Is this a bug in gold's --section-ordering-file, or do we want
the following?

	* testsuite/Makefile.am (final_layout_script.lds): Add .sbss.
	* testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
