Done, bug 21562.

Now I see that to use __start_SCN together with linker scripts and
--gc-sections, one should put the PROVIDE statement inside of the output
section declaration:

SECTIONS {
        scnfoo : {
        PROVIDE_HIDDEN(__start_scnfoo = .);
        *(scnfoo)
        }
}

This looks logical and seems to work with -gc-sections, with both ld.bfd and
Gold. I think the Glibc approach quoted in comment #0 with PROVIDE statements
outside of output groups sets a bad example (and breaks build with
--gc-sections).
