Hi, I filed a ticket about potential syntax for extending the internal
linker script (providing some SECTIONS fragments instead of the full
external linker script): https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26404
I am curious about your thoughts and suggested syntax on the feature.
IIUC, GCC wants to introduce some call graph profiling (ipa-reorder) features. If such
an extension exists, users don't have to upgrade binutils to have
*(SORT(.text.sorted.*)) in the output section .text
GCC can provide such a linker script with such a SECTIONS fragment.
