I don't think the burden would be toooo high, although it will mess the
code up a bit.
The post-build checking for section reference mismatches will help,
although that seems to have got itself turned off (what happened
there?).
Did anyone look at writing a postprocessor for the .s files? It
doesn't look like it will be too hard from an initial peek.
Did anyone ask the gcc developers? I'd have thought that a function-wide
__attribute__((__string_section__(foo))
wouldn't be a ton of work to implement.
