I haven't tried your sample but I don't have the the section problem
with gcc-2.95 (prerelease) and binutils-2.9.4 (pre).  I do have a
link problem:

ld -N -e _stext arch/parisc/kernel/head.o arch/parisc/kernel/init_task.o init/ma
in.o init/version.o \
	arch/parisc/kernel/kernel.o arch/parisc/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \
	fs/filesystems.a \
	net/network.a \
	drivers/block/block.a drivers/char/char.a  drivers/net/net.a \
	/ehic/a/pa/linux/arch/parisc/lib/lib.a /ehic/a/pa/linux/lib/lib.a /ehic/a/pa/linux/arch/parisc/lib/lib.a \
	-o vmlinux
ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
