Section (.sdata2) being omitted but SIZEOF(.sdata2) is not zero?

Does this fully explain the case where both .sdata2 is missing *and* the following .data section is not aligned on a 4KB boundary?  I can't find an elf file showing that at the moment, but I think I included objdump output somewhere in this thread showing it.  IIRC, .data started 0x200 bytes beyond a page  boundary.  I think the phantom .sdata2 section was 0x400 bytes in that case.
