Discard *.exit.text sections on runtime. We cannot do this on link
time because of the way BUG macros are implemented. If "__exit
function" calls one of those macros, __bug_table section will
reference this function. This is similar to ".altinstructions"
situation on i386.
*.exit.data seems to be OK in this respect and is discarded on link
time.
