Hi.  I see a test-case for this kind of construct:

 int foo __attribute__((__used__, __section__ (".bar"))) = 42;

and IIUC that it's handled as I'd hope (setting "R" on the named
section, not another derived section), good.

Could you also add a test-case that the same construct
*without* a specific initializer is handled the same way?
I.e.:
 int foo __attribute__((__used__, __section__ (".bar")));

Thanks in advance.
