Re: How to group objects from static library in a section?

What I am looking for is a way to extend the section attribute

compilers/linkers that allow that (CodeWarrior, but not using
attributes) and GNU linker seems to be equiped for that - there is a
call graph analysis done during --gc-section optimization.

Well, here you need an expert in your specific environment
and the guys that wrote the port of gnu "ld" to your environment.

I am not an expert in "ld" and I can't help you further. In
any case, compiling the libc library with all functions
including this attribute should work but that would be
a significant amount of work. Maybe better options exists.

Just ask to the gnu ld support people.
