I had a theory about how to make this happen; it's similar to a problem I ran
into with _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ just last month. But no luck so far making it
happen with __bss_start.

Is is possible that you're using a version of gold without the following
commit? (This was backported to 2.28.)

    Fix problem where version script causes predefined hidden symbol to be
defined twice.

    When creating a predefined hidden symbol like _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, gold
    was incorrectly letting a version script add a version to the symbol,
    resulting in two copies of the symbol, both STB_LOCAL, but one of which
    was grouped in the globals part of the symbol table.

            * symtab.cc (Symbol_table::define_special_symbol): Add
is_forced_local
            parameter; if set, do not check version script.
            (Symbol_table::do_define_in_output_data): Pass is_forced_local for
            STB_LOCAL predefined symbols.
            (Symbol_table::do_define_in_output_segment): Likewise.
            (Symbol_table::do_define_in_output_segment): Likewise.
            (Symbol_table::do_define_as_constant): Likewise.
            * symtab.h (Symbol_table::define_special_symbol): Add
is_forced_local
            parameter. Adjust all callers.
            * testsuite/Makefile.am (ver_test_8.sh): New test case.
            * testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate.
            * ver_test_8.sh: New test script.
