[Bug ld/10317] New: Specifying end address of a ELF section in linker script

[jsteckli at os dot inf dot tu-dresden dot de]

It should be possible to specify the end address of a section in the linker
script. Specifically, statements like the following should be possible in a
linker script:

.foo 16K - SIZEOF(.foo) :
{
     PROVIDE (_foo_begin = .);
    *(.foo)
}
PROVIDE (_foo_end = .);

In this example _foo_end would always be 16K and _foo_begin would grow downwards
depending on .foo's size.
