--- Comment #9 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I'm going to out on a limb and close this as WONTFIX.  First, I don't believe
this will or can be implemented for the reasons Andrew mentioned.  The linker
also can and some linkers do reorder functions and so the notion of a
difference between them doesn't really make sense, either at runtime, but
certainly not at  compile time.  Second, there has been no activity on this
request in the last 8 years.
