As it should be.  The second '.' in ".rela.text" comes from ".text" not 
from ".rela.".  If $section is "FOO" the relocation section should be 
named .relaFOO, and if it's "%bar" it should be named ".rela%bar" 
(assuming '%' is a valid section name character of course :) ).  
Everything else introduces special cases (e.g. what if there's a "FOO" and 
a ".FOO" section, vs. if there's _only_ a ".FOO" section?).

Ugh, please don't.
