Hi,

I did try, but it didn't seem to do anything useful, probably
because ...

`-ffunction-sections'
`-fdata-sections'
     Place each function or data item into its own section in the
output
     file if the target supports arbitrary sections.  The name of the
     function or the name of the data item determines the section's
name
     in the output file.

Isn't COFF limited in section naming? Perhaps that's why (other than
just lacking somebody to implement it)?
