How about this?

On ELF platforms, when the relocatable output contains both contents
which require link-time optimization (LTO) and contents which don't
require LTO, a .gnu_object_only section will be created to contain a
relocatable object file, as if @samp{-r} is applied to all relocatable
inputs which don't require LTO.  When processing a relocatable input
with a .gnu_object_only section, the linker will extract the
.gnu_object_only section as a separate input.
