Type of .gnu.linkonce.b.* sections on Solaris

[Eric Botcazou]

Hi,

.gnu.linkonce.b.* sections are problematic on Solaris, as analyzed in the GCC 
PR http://gcc.gnu.org/PR16007, because they have the SHT_PROGBITS type by 
default and GCC has no way to override it with the Solaris assembler syntax.

Following Ian's suggestion, this patch teaches gas to treat them like .bss.* 
sections.  Built and tested on sparc-sun-solaris2.8.

Ok for mainline?

	* elf.c (special_sections): Add .gnu.linkonce.b modelled on .bss.
