[patch/rfc] Fix minor difference in section naming between gold and ld.

[ppluzhnikov at google dot com (Paul Pluzhnikov)]

Greetings,

  objdump -sj .note.gnu.build-id elf-file

produces the dump of build-id for ld-linked elf images, but not for
gold-linked ones:

echo "void foo() { }" | gcc -c -fPIC -xc - -o foo.o

ld -shared --build-id -o foo.so foo.o 
objdump -sj .note.gnu.build-id foo.so

foo.so:     file format elf64-x86-64

Contents of section .note.gnu.build-id:
 0158 04000000 14000000 03000000 474e5500  ............GNU.
 0168 a89f0845 5797e030 75394411 342c6456  ...EW..0u9D.4,dV
 0178 654faf59                             eO.Y            

gold-x86_64/ld -shared --build-id -o foo.so foo.o 
objdump -sj .note.gnu.build-id foo.so

foo.so:     file format elf64-x86-64



Attached patch (approved off-list by Ian Lance Taylor) fixes this.
Tested on Linux/x86_64.

OK to commit?

Thanks,
