            Bug ID: 34415
           Summary: AVR: Sort the *.text* input section by name to
                    increase code locality
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.46
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: gjl at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Without SORT the linker may locate functions related by their input section far
apart, inserting function from other input sections in between them.

This shreds code locality, e.g. for libgcc functions in .text.libgcc.mul.
