Subject: [PATCH] support multiple .discard.* sections to avoid section type conflicts
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:02:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C493084.1050207@goop.org> (raw)
gcc 4.4.4 will complain if you use a .discard section for both text and
data ("causes a section type conflict"). Add support for ".discard.*"
sections, and use .discard.text for a dummy function in the x86
RESERVE_BRK() macro.
