Dear Mike Frysinger,

? Could you please complete that sentence?
I believe the idea is that with these options, the build produces not one single input section for all code and one single input section for all data of a given object file, but one input section per function and one input section per variable, thus allowing the linker file to fin-grain-tune the content of the isolated sector(s), specifying exactly which function or (initialized) data would go in there.
Amicalement,
