I wouldn't mind having this functionality.
For a long time, I've wanted it in C in those cases where I do
not have a linker-script or do not have access to a linker-script.
In addition to the above, I think it would also be beneficial for
those who write hardware/driver libraries for microcontrollers:
Just drop in the files that you want to use, then they're linked
when found. One could even just work with stand-alone object
files marked 'used'.
