[PATCH][gold] Use attributes of existing sections when placing orphan sections.

[Igor Kudrin <ikudrin at accesssoftek dot com>]

Hi,

The current version of gold uses names of described output sections
to find places where to put orphan sections. If the sections in the
linker script have different names, gold fails to find the right place
for orphans. This patch addresses the issue by analyzing attributes
of existing section if they have unfamiliar names.

Best regards,
Igor Kudrin
