[Bug target/19139] New: data referenced as short misplaced in non-short linkonce section

["jbeulich at novell dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

.gnu.linkonce.* sections never get the SECTION_SMALL attribute set, but items
small enough and placed therein will still be referenced through gprel22 (i.e.
without going through the linkage table).
A simple solution could be to have IA64 have a custom TARGET_SECTION_TYPE_FLAGS
handler so that the the SECTION_SMALL flag can get properly set. This would also
allow to not depend on a not ABI-mandated assembler feature marking .tdata.* and
.tbss.* sections (as seen with -f{function,data}-sections) as short.
