The reason seems to be, that something in the newer gcc compilers changed to generate multiple sections all named ".text" for the PCREL17 relocations.
Older compilers named those sections ".text.1", ".text.2", ".text.3" and so forth.

GCC has never generated ".text.1", etc, on parisc linux as far as I know.

Hmm, I don't like to disagree with an gcc-expert like you,but
I did pasted an objdump in my last mail, which shows that gcc did
generated .text.1, .text.2 and so on:

Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
4 .text.1 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000b0 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE

Since this is a relinked object, might it be possible that ld rather
than gcc is the culprit?
