I sent the following patch for review for trunk commit here. Details here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-02/msg00328.html
This is important for function layout for the following reason. Without this patch, the thunk's section name is the same as the original function's section name for which the thunk is created. This affects function layout as it is not possible to figure out the thunk section from the name alone. With this patch, the thunk's section name is suffixed with the mangled name of the thunk and this solves the problem. Is this patch ok for google/gcc-4_8? Sri
