In my opinion it should work. if I use SYMBOL_PREFIX + two underscore
for section name I should always obtain different names.
So if SYMBOL_PREFIX is "_" section name will be "___", if
SYMBOL_PREFIX is "__" section name will be "____" and so on.

I'm a bit confused. I can build a kernel here:
$ make ARCH=blackfin CROSS_COMPILE="bfin-uclinux-" defconfig
*** Default configuration is based on 'BF537-STAMP_defconfig'
[...]
$ make ARCH=blackfin CROSS_COMPILE="bfin-uclinux-"
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
[...]
  OBJCOPY arch/blackfin/boot/vmlinux.bin
  GZIP    arch/blackfin/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
  UIMAGE  arch/blackfin/boot/vmImage.gz
Image Name:   bf537-0.2-2.6.39-rc3-00004-gf26a
Created:      Wed May 11 17:06:45 2011
Image Type:   Blackfin Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size:    986471 Bytes = 963.35 kB = 0.94 MB
Load Address: 00001000
Entry Point:  001a8518
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 69 modules

Unfortunately I can't make skyeye emulator works to test the obtained
kernel image.

Ciao,
Alessio
