This has_section_at_zero feature is intended for embedded targets. I only
know has_section_at_zero can never happen for cases I am aware of.
IMHO embedded targets do not use the file-vs-memory offsets but not sure.
Also the embedded targets probably do not use .linkonce/COMDAT - this is why
this has_section_at_zero differentiator could work.
