Actually, Jeff,

]        pushl LC1@GOTOFF(%ebx)                                       
    vs
]        movl _XtStrings@GOT(%ebx),%eax
]        addl $788,%eax                    
]        pushl %eax

is a code gen issue and has nothing to do with SELECT_SECTION. 
This would have to do with GO_IF_LEGITIMATE_ADDRESS and friends.

But I don't replicate it with the given example and 19980418.
