How do you assign them an address without knowing what they are? With a wild card rule? Anyway I think I'm happy for this to only work on newer toolchains. cheers

In the past I've caused orphan sections to error by assigning them to the same address as something that exists. Works with all linkers, even if the error message isn't as useful. David

I guess they are discarded because of them > being outside of _end at relocation. I just got rid of the comment. Having it right above "DISCARDS" seemed redundant. I believe the debug sections will be linked into the file, because they were not put in the /DISCARD/ output. But they will be outside the _end symbol. Thanks, Nick

How's this? Might take a few iterations to smooth out all toolchains From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:41:14 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: link error on orphan sections Add --orphan-handling=error to final link flags. This ensures we have to handle all sections. This would have caught subtle breakage such as 7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time. Also bring some wayward sections into the fold: - .text.hot and .text.unlikely are compiler generated sections. - .sfpr is a linker generated section for register save functions. - .sdata2, .dynsbss, .plt are used by PPC32 - We previously did not specify DWARF_DEBUG or STABS_DEBUG - DWARF_DEBUG did not include DWARF3 .debug_ranges - A number of sections are unused. I don't know if I've exactly got everything right here, particularly with ppc32, so would appreciate people casting their eye over it.

[PATCH] powerpc: link error on orphan sections
Add --orphan-handling=error to final link flags. This ensures we have to handle all sections. This would have caught subtle breakage such as 7de3b27bac47da9de08409df1d69664acbb72197 at build-time.
