[PATCH] BFD: Consider any section whose name starts with ".__abs" to be absolute.

[John Darrington]

The relocatable ELF files produced by the compiler of a major semiconductor
manufactoror does not put absolute symbols into the *ABS* section.
Instead, each seems to have its own section whose name starts with .__absdata_

This causes ld to mislink such files.  This patch seems to fix the problem.
It doesn't seem like an elegant solution, but then it isn't an elegant problem...
