.data.rel.so brokenness

Alpha won't link at present because __libc_enable_secure 
and __libc_stack_end are declared as

	extern void *foo;
and defined as
	extern void *foo __attribute__((section(...)));

Because of the declaration, the compiler thinks __libc_stack_end
is defined in .sdata, and so generates a 16-bit relocation.  Because
of the definition, the 16-bit reloc won't reach.

Put the attribute on the decl too and the compiler will DTRT.
