rationale for bss patterns in default_section_type_flags ?

[Olivier Hainque]

Hello,

Is there a rationale  for the list of bss patterns matched by
default_section_type_flags_1 ?

<< if (strcmp (name, ".bss") == 0
      || strncmp (name, ".bss.", 5) == 0
      || strncmp (name, ".gnu.linkonce.b.", 16) == 0
      || strcmp (name, ".sbss") == 0
      || strncmp (name, ".sbss.", 6) == 0
      || strncmp (name, ".gnu.linkonce.sb.", 17) == 0)
    flags |= SECTION_BSS;
>>

Would matching, say, ".bss" anywhere-in or at-the-end-of name be
appropriate ?

If no, why not ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Olivier
