I think that you need to test some non-ELF based targets.  Or maybe a
--enable-targets=all configuration.  I am seeing this error when building:

  bfd/ecoff.c:81:1: error: missing initializer for field 'already_assigned' of 'asection' {aka 'struct bfd_section'} [-Werror=missing-field-initializers]

Also when adding a new feature like this, it would be nice if you could
include a line or two in ld/NEWS describing what it does.  This makes it
easier for me to advertise the feature when announcing a new release...

Also you should add a description of the option to ld/ld.texi.

Cheers
