Description

See https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20151012/305992.html for context.
Those sections are deprecated by LLVM and the linker might emit warnings on it.
Additionally, they make some work on debug info a bit more complicated than needed.

This issue is OSX-specific.

There was an attempt (didn't know about this issue being here).

It did not succeed, there's something rotten about how symbol references are generated that needs to be fixed along with the switch to data/const sections.
