It all depends on what the compiler and linker need. The eCos linker
scripts are all derived from the default GCC linker scripts for the
target. Some sections may not get used in all links, but defining all
of them makes the script usable in the future.

It's not as if any unused sections add anything to the final image,
just define them and don't worry about it.
