--- Comment #1 from H.J. Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> ---
>From ld manual:

   If an orphaned section's name is representable as a C identifier then
the linker will automatically *note PROVIDE:: two symbols:
__start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the name of the
section.  These indicate the start address and end address of the
orphaned section respectively.  Note: most section names are not
representable as C identifiers because they contain a '.' character.

When scnfoo is used in the linker script, it is no longer an orphan section.
I think this should be closed as WONTFIX.
