Yes, I meant to comment on that last night.  We need to do something
about the lang_output_section_statement list.  A hash would work, but it
seems silly to have a bfd section hash that duplicates most if not all
entries that would be in the lang_output_section_statement list.  Hmm..
Probably best not to be too clever.
