DC: Workaround for bug 3096694 (DRASCULA.PLG not loading)

If a plugin has no statically allocated data at all, and no static
constructors/destructors, then __plugin_ctors et al will end up inside
a debug section, because the .ctors section and those following it
will be removed by ld for being empty.  This has the side effect of
those symbols being deleted completely when using strip -g to remove
debug info, causing loading of the plugin to fail.

This workaround just makes sure that the .bss section is never empty,
so that it will never be removed.  That way the symbols will be sure to end up in that section if all sections before are removed.
