Bug Description

We've got special code in lsbcc which insures that LSB binaries don't contain a
.gnu_hash section, since when that feature was introduced, there were otherwise
conforming systems whose linker could not consume such binaries. We should do
a survey to make absolutely sure, but I'm pretty convinced that restriction is
not needed any longer.

Note that even if this change is made for the SDK this bug should not be closed
- the spec will need to describe the content of such a section, and the
checkers should likely learn about it as well.
