I think this is really self-explanatory. OK to commit?

This only makes sense if the compiler has been modified to generate
such sections.
Note that for the other linkonce sections the default ELF linker
script uses names like .gnu.linkonce.d*. That is, it does not assume
a dot after the 'd'.
If the compiler generates .gnu.linkonce sections for .sdata sections,
and the trailing dot is correct, then I have no objection to this
patch.

It does seem to be correct. From gcc/config/mips/elf.h:
{ ".text.", ".gnu.linkonce.t." }, \
{ ".rodata.", ".gnu.linkonce.r." }, \
{ ".data.", ".gnu.linkonce.d." }, \
{ ".sdata.", ".gnu.linkonce.s." } \
and similarly in gcc/config/elfos.h. So the dot is always there.
Probably the other places should have the dot too, in case we ever run
out of letters, but it's not exactly an urgent problem...
OK, I'll commit it.

The dot is there to correspond to the leading dot in ".text".
A link-once section for "foo" would not have the dot.
Anyway, long-term the .gnu.linkonce thing will go away -- in
the drafts from the ABI group they approved section flags to
perform this job cleanly.

Actually, I noticed a problem with your patch. You include the
.gnu.linkonce section unconditionally, not only when RELOCATING is
set. You need to fix that to correspond to other inclusions of
.gnu.linkonce sections, as otherwise ld -r will fail.

There's a lot of that around. How about this? I haven't tested it.

Your patch introduces some things you didn't mention in the ChangeLog
entry: SDATA_START_SYMBOLS and .dynsbss. I don't know why you need
either of them. .dynsbss in particular sounds odd; does anything
create that section?
Otherwise this is OK.

It's created by at least the powerpc linker (which doesn't use this
ldscript), and I expect it needs to be created by every ELF target
with shared libraries and .sdata.
It's needed when you have
extern int foo;
/* do something with foo */
in an application and 'foo' is in a shared library and an 'extern int'
would usually be in the sdata section; you'd normally put such a
symbol in .dynbss.
SDATA_START_SYMBOLS is just there for consistency.
