From the GCC man page -frecord-gcc-switches "is only implemented on some targets and the exact format of the recording is target and binary file format dependent, but it usually takes the form of a section containing ASCII text" In the LLVM portion of this review it was decided that the implications of this is that well-behaved consumers should not make assumptions about the format. They should also not make assumptions about the name of the section, but we are effectively backwards-compatible in that we are a section with ASCII text, so tools which just e.g. dump the section for uses will continue to work with our implementation.
