We only reduce relocations to section symbols for static data.  It
seems that every other platform I've investigated (Sparc, PowerPC,
Alpha) does the same thing, so, while I think it would be possible to
not reduce them on PA, I'm not sure what the unintended side effects
would be.

As for not merging section symbols ... I'm not sure how that would be
done, but if it's the only option I guess we can figure it out.

Alan: any thoughts on this?
