Thanks for investigating this! There are a number of compiler options which can add ad-hoc sections. They may need caution.
I just filed https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25591 "Should /DISCARD/ : { *(.symtab) *(.strtab) } work?" Let's see what GNU ld will do...
Note that * can be refined to SHF_ALLOC sections (https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Input-Section-Basics.html):
SECTIONS { .text : { *(.text) } /* This excludes .strtab / .symtab / .shstrtab */ /* https://reviews.llvm.org/D72756 implemented INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS. Not included in LLVM release/10.* */ /DISCARD/ : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS(SHF_ALLOC) *(*) } }
Just realized that this was reported as https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44452 Looks like we will probably close it as wontfix.
