Hmm, I don't like to disagree with an gcc-expert like you,but
I did pasted an objdump in my last mail, which shows that gcc did
generated .text.1, .text.2 and so on:

Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
4 .text.1 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000b0 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
