NEWS says (since 2.6):
* When an ELF section name is representable as a C identifier (this is not true
of most ELF section names), the linker will automatically define symbols
__start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the section name, at the
beginning and the end of the section. This is used by glibc.
But there's nothing about this in the ld manual.
