.stabstr listed as discarded

[John Parkes]

Should section  .stabstr be listed in the discarded input sections of
the map ? This occurs whether or not --gc-sections is used.

Try assembling and linking the attached. I'm using binutils 2.17 on
x86_64 FC5, but I don't think the platform is significant.

thanks, John Parkes
