I didn't say that it is correct, but obviously it was allowed by the
toolchain. The described behaviour seemed strange to me so I thought I'd
post just in case someone else is interested. At the end this seems to be
a false alarm.

I red the gas manual before posting the original message - it says:
The TYPE argument is optional. If specified, it must be one of the
following strings. For example:
.linkonce same_size
Not all types may be supported on all object file formats.
`discard'
Silently discard duplicate sections. This is the default.
`one_only'
Warn if there are duplicate sections, but still keep only one copy.
`same_size'
Warn if any of the duplicates have different sizes.
`same_contents'
Warn if any of the duplicates do not have exactly the same
contents.
