Log:
Description of symbols is avalable here:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54766/u-etext-3c.html

It is said that:
_etext - The address of _etext is the first 
location after the last read-only loadable segment.

_edata - The address of _edata is the first 
location after the last read-write loadable segment.

_end - If the address of _edata is greater than the address 
of _etext, the address of _end is same as the address of _edata.

In real life _end and _edata has different values for that case.
Both gold/bfd set _edata to the end of the last non SHT_NOBITS section.
This patch do the same for consistency.

It should fix the https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26729.
