We only reduce relocations to section symbols for static data. It seems that every other platform I've investigated (Sparc, PowerPC, Alpha) does the same thing, so, while I think it would be possible to not reduce them on PA, I'm not sure what the unintended side effects would be. As for not merging section symbols ... I'm not sure how that would be done, but if it's the only option I guess we can figure it out.
