This means what it says: that the produced file a-dxe.o has more than a 
single section.

Does the same work for a C code?  If it does, chances are that the 
additional section is due to the way C++ exceptions are supported.  (That 
hint about -M option is there for you to follow it, you know ;-).  In 
that case, try invoking gcc with the -fno-exceptions option (I hope I 
spell the option right) and see if that helps.
