Linker question. How to change memory section for functions that comes from a ".a" library?

[CortexFan]

Hi Olof,
I stumbled upon this searching for a similar question as had a similar
problem.
Depending on the system you use, the slash might be a problem.
I am using codesourcery tools on windows and looking at the verbose output I
noticed what was linked in for the library.
I had to use the following patterns:

        *\libgcc.a:*
        *\libc.a:*

to make it work (note the backslash).

Hope this helps!
Best regards
Giancarlo
