The symbol is exposed to C by dso_handle.h, and since it's a single
8-byte pointer, it is just within the threshold for being in the small
data (or bss) section, so code accessing it will use GP-relative
addressing. Therefore we must put it in .sdata/.sbss in case our other
data sections grow too big and we overflow the 22-bit relocation.

* config/ia64/crtbegin.S (__dso_handle): Put in .sdata/.sbss
rather than .data/.bss so it can be accessed via gp-relative
addressing.
