Please ignore this now I can reproduce the problem on my machine.

Sorry I don't think that is a good choice from a long term point of
view. What do you think to add MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX to section names
instead? In this way symbol and section names should always be
different also on symbol prefixed archs (which are blackfin and
h8300).

Thank you very much!

Ciao,
Alessio
