<pre>This is required by D13329 (r250200).
In D13329, the following quote from Ian Taylor:
"When a section name is a valid C identifier, the linker automatically provides
__start and __stop symbols set to the addresses of the beginning and end of the
section. The symbols are __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME where SECNAME is
the name of the section.
This is not defined by the ELF ABI, but it is completely reliable on
GNU/Linux. In fact it is reliable on any ELF system except possibly
Solaris, and it probably works on Solaris too. This is definitely
what you should do instead of using a linker script. It's more
reliable and more efficient, and it's what everybody else does"</pre>
