No sorry - this is not possible with the current linker script syntax.

If the sections within bar1.o and bar2.o have unique names, then yes 
this can be done.  For example if bar1.o contains sections called 
.text.bar1 and .data.bar1 and bar2.o contains sections called .text.bar2 
and .data.bar2 then you could use a linker script fragment like this:

.text.bar1 : 0x1000 { /home/zhangta/tests/cgpart/libfoo1.a(.text.bar1) }
.text.bar2 : 0x2000 { /home/zhangta/tests/cgpart/libfoo1.a(.text.bar2) }
.data.bar1 : 0x4000 { /home/zhangta/tests/cgpart/libfoo1.a(.data.bar1) }
.data.bar2 : 0x5000 { /home/zhangta/tests/cgpart/libfoo1.a(.data.bar1) }

Cheers
