What would you want to happen?
You seem to want them defined twice.

For symbols not referenced from outside,
you might be able to localize the symbols.
objcopy's --localize-symbol will do it for one symbol.
I don't know how to do it en masse.
There is also a --globalize-symbol .

For references to the duplicated section from outside,
there is no obvious right thing.
For each symbol, you will need to pick one.
