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.
