Ok, I found out why this is happening -- the v850 default linker scripts, for whatever reason, merge any section called `.gnu.linker.t*' with .text.
I can prevent this by adding the option `--unique=.gnu.linkonce.this_module' to the linker flags (specifically, to LDFLAGS_MODULE in the top-level Makefile). I suppose another way to do it would be to rename the section something that doesn't match `.gnu.linker.t*'.
What's the right way to handle this?
[from perusing the ld srcs, a few other archs seem to have the same `feature,' though the only that I think has linux support is `cris']
