I was not correct - llvm-mc does not support MIPS specific .sdata and
.sbss directives to create the corresponding sections. Also it does
not know about default flags and section types need to be assigned to
these sections so ".section .sdata" is accepted but produces .sdata
section with no type and no flags.

The attached patch partially fixes this problem (.sdata and .sbss
directives still unsupported) and converts original test case to .s
form. I am not sure about correctness of the selected approach.
Daniel, what do you think about that?
