Re: [PATCH][gold] Place sections like ".rela.dyn" according to linker scripts.

Hi Cary,

I've checked it. The things with these sections are definitely complicated
if we try to imitate ld's behavior in every single detail. Anyway, my patch
deals with only one particular case and, as far as I can see, doesn't change
anything for the sample from PR 20062. 

Best regards,
Igor Kudrin

PS. Have a great vacation!

See also PR 20062. I need to think about this a bit, but I'm not going
to have time before I go on vacation. I'll be away for the next three
weeks, and I won't be able to respond while I'm away.
