I want to call _something_ .plt, that's my main reason for not using
.got.plt. It's not that I dislike the name .got.plt.
The other reason for choosing .glink and .plt is that these are the
sections used by PowerPC64 Linux, with ppc64 .glink being a code section
and ppc64 .plt a (BSS) data section.
