Quoting from ld/emultemp/elf32.em

  /* Choose a unique name for the section.  This will be needed if the
     same section name appears in the input file with different
     loadable or allocatable characteristics.  */

Most likely someone forgot to flag .init.text with "ax" in one of the
input object files.  Another possiblility is that ld --unique was
used.
