<pre>When creating an associative section the syntax looks like
.section name,flags,associative assoc_name, comdat_sym
the problem is that we can have multiple sections named assoc_name.
A general but fairly disruptive change would be to have something like
%foo = .section ....
where %foo would be token that can be used to refer to the section.
A less general but simpler option would be so do the reference with
.section name,flags,associative assoc_name, assoc_comdat, comdat_sym
but given that assoc_comdat is in a section, we could also simplify this to
.section name,flags,associative assoc_comdat, comdat_sym
and in the object writer map the assoc_comdat to the assoc section number.</pre>
