for ELF, each {section name, hash} pair denotes a distinct section (when using SHF_GROUP). Linker's deduplicate the group based on the hash, then squish all the distinct sections with the same name together. (same system that powers -ffunction-sections -fno-unique-section-names - even though each function section is called ".text", because they have different hashes and use SHF_GROUP, they are distinct sections in the object file)
