.sbss section holds uninitialized data. On IA64, this section is placed so 
that it can be accessed using short direct addressing (22 bit offset from 
global pointer). Hence this section has SHF_IA_64_SHORT (0x10000000) set. 

Reference http://refspecs.freestandards.org/elf/IA64-SysV-psABI.pdf Section 
4.2.2 and 4.2.3

This flag needs to be added to the ELfSection database in LSB specs.
