--- Comment #3 from Antoni <bouanto at zoho dot com> --- I develop a gcc codegen for the Rust compiler and it's a feature of Rust to be able to set the link section: https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc/commit/999f768526d72e19e3eafdc963dcb6af8a1afe60#diff-6bbb01450b42befd6551add5fd3f53dd6a0ebd54f6f32c20cef02246521bd490R19 One of the use cases is in the standard library: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/7e11f3a8f3c1b2683125e7def0acb68a6d684f92/library/std/src/sys/unix/args.rs#L112
