--- Comment #4 from awson <kyrab at mail dot ru> ---
Good catch of ".data$*" thing, indeed `gcc` on Windows generates `$` instead of
`.`, and this, perhaps, would be correct to make GHC do the same thing, but we
already have separate handling of `.text.*` sections on Windows. I suspect that
this is because there exist another tools from GNU/Unix land, ported to Windows
which also use `.` for namespace hierarchy handling.

Regarding `ln -r` I don't think `ELF` case is indicative because `PE-COFF`
linking is *very* different.
