Well, I would expect merged debug sections, close to that what happens with
a linker script mentioning the debug sections, eg. a single .debug_info
instead of .debug_info, .debug_info1, .debug_info2, etc.
That shouldn't happen unless the linker script explicitly mentions the
debug sections. If you have .debug_info and .debug_info1 in input
files, you should have .debug_info and .debug_info1 in the output
file.
If .debug_info1 in an input file is getting stored into .debug_info in
the output file, but .debug_info is not mentioned in the linker
script, then something very odd is happening. Are you certain that
that is what you were seeing?
