--- Comment #5 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gmail dot com> ---
The patch looks wrong, it appears to ensure that __start_scnfoo is defined. The
linker manual says it shouldn't get defined (scnfoo is not orphan), and
therefore scnfoo should be eliminated due to --gc-sections.

(note that bug 20022 and bug 19167 are both for orphan sections, linker scripts
are not involved there)
