How do long section names (longer than 8 characters) work with COFF?

The specs at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/coff/
discuss only 8-character section names. However, an object (.o)
file that I created from C++ code using the latest DJGPP contains
sections such as ".gnu.linkonce.d._ZTV5img_c"

Thanks in advance.
