--- Comment #3 from Jessica Clarke <jrtc27 at jrtc27 dot com> ---
1. That's because you need -Wl,--whole-archive to include all .o files in the
.a
2. Don't put a dot in the section names, make them valid C identifiers and use
the linker-generated __start_$section/__stop_$section names
3. You will need -Wl,-z,nostart-stop-gc for LLD 13+ because the maintainer
decided breaking coding patterns that have worked for decades is fine (binutils
also accepts the flag as of 2.37 but does not currently default to the broken
behaviour)

If you want a BSD-2-Clause-licensed linker set implementation you can grab
sys/sys/linker_set.h from FreeBSD and alter it however you like.
