Either way, I was rather unhappy to find out that my test scripts were
silently broken by this change a year ago. Furthermore, right now there
are only 9 section warnings in allyesconfig on x86-64 and 12 on i386,
and one of those was the one I just corrected. The last thing we need
is them to be squelshed.

These patches should be backed out at once.
