--- Comment #27 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
And even without section anchors, there is no guarantee there aren't relative
relocations in between the symbols, that just have been applied already at
assembly time (say relocations against .L* symbols).
Another reason where this would break is that various programs accumulate
symbols in some sections and assume the result forms an array.  If the linker
attempted to break that appart, Linux kernel and various other projects would
fail miserably.
So without something like -fdata-sections the linker really can't do such
changes.
