Relocatable link merge input file text sections into one text section.
If a relocation reference a section symbol, the addend would add the 
section offset in the final one text section.

It needs to add an additional local symbol.
And to avoid discarding section question 
(https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2024-January/131615.html),
each section needs to add a local symbol.
