Hi, I have been fighting with a strange problem on ARM where gcc puts all the .rodata from a number of files lumped into a single .rodata section even when -fdata-sections is used.
I searched and found a bug report here: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54303 which exactly describes the problem I see. According to the bug report this does not happen on x86_64, and there is a test case provided. Does anyone have any clues as to how to fix this bug? I am willing to give it a try with a few pointers. I currently have to add loads of #ifdefs in the C code to work around this bug and remove the unwanted and unreferenced data. Thanks, Simon
