detecting section overflow without using the MEMORY command

[Mike Frysinger <vapier at gentoo dot org>]

is there a way (or trick) to control the size of an output section without 
defining the region in MEMORY ?  it'd be nice if there were an optional 
LENGTH() argument with output sections ...
section [address] [(type)] :
[AT(lma)] [ALIGN(section_align)] [SUBALIGN(subsection_align)] [LENGTH(length)]
{
  ...

the linux kernel has a lot of common code for the vmlinux linker scripts which 
prevents using MEMORY regions at the same time
