It's a special section which gcc uses if you have a new enough glibc and binutils. Dan, if you're going to use --enable-gnu-unique-object then you need a system that supports it - in which case it will be auto-detected and used automatically - so there's no reason to specify it explicitly. Please read the installation docs, which tell you it will be used if supported, instead of enabling dozens of redundant or problematic options which cause your build to fail. As I said before, start with a simple configure command and try to get that working before you add a load of options which you haven't read the documentation for.
