A smaller testcase:

---
address@hidden pr11133]$ cat test.c
extern const int *__start__foo;
int foo __attribute__((__section__("_foo"))) = 1;
int
_start ()
{
  return *__start__foo;
}
address@hidden pr11133]$ make
cc    -c -o test.o test.c
./ld -e _start -o bar test.o
./ld -e _start --gc-sections -o foo test.o
test.o: In function `_start':
test.c:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `__start__foo'
make: *** [foo] Error 1
address@hidden pr11133]$
