BTW,  there are many extra failures for some targets.  Should we
xfail them if no one will fix them?

You are right.  Just some extra sections.  Here is the updated patch
with the adjusted testcase.

Alan, does this patch look OK to you?

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] gas: Generate a new section for SHF_GNU_RETAIN

For
	.globl	foo2
	.section	.data.foo,"aR"
	.align 4
	.type	foo2, @object
	.size	foo2, 4
foo2:
	.long	2
	.globl	foo1
	.section	.data.foo
	.align 4
	.type	foo1, @object
	.size	foo1, 4
foo1:
	.long	1

generate a new section if the SHF_GNU_RETAIN bit doesn't match.

	* config/obj-elf.c (SEC_ASSEMBLER_SHF_MASK): New.
	(get_section_by_match): Also check if SEC_ASSEMBLER_SHF_MASK of
	sh_flags matches.  Rename info to sh_info.
	(obj_elf_change_section): Don't check previous SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
	Rename info to sh_info.
	(obj_elf_section): Rename info to sh_info.  Set sh_flags for
	SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
	* config/obj-elf.h (elf_section_match): Rename info to sh_info.
	Add sh_flags.
	* testsuite/gas/elf/elf.exp: Run section27.
	* testsuite/gas/elf/section24b.d: Updated.
	* testsuite/gas/elf/section27.d: New file.
	* testsuite/gas/elf/section27.s: Likewise.
