I think for #1 in your posting, verifying that we issue the proper warning
should be sufficient.  Use the dg framework test and this marker:

/* { dg-require-named-sections } */

Thanks!  That helps, and I see someone has attached a testcase to the
bugzilla in an attempt to move this forward.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61848#c18

I'll be happy if someone else takes over the bugzilla.  I've been on
vacation, and should spend time over the next few weeks on the
binutils 2.25 release rather than trying to push gcc patches.
Looks like Markus will pick this up, which is obviously fine with me :-) Getting 2.25 out the door is good and simplifies some things I've got to deal with, so happy to see that moving forward.
