Problem with linking static lib text into specific section

[Elad Yosef]

Hi,
I have the following linker script

/* those linker changes are for Flash section */
#define SECTION_cliLib_tree(_region_, _vma_, _lma_)    \
	.cliLib_tree _vma_ : _lma_               	  	    \
    {                                                   \
    	FORCE_OUTPUT;\
    	KEEP(*( SORT (.ecos.cli.table.*)));				\
    }> _region_ 	

#define SECTION_cliLib_text(_region_, _vma_, _lma_)    \
	.cliLib_text _vma_ : _lma_               	  	    \
    {                                                   \
    	FORCE_OUTPUT;\
    	libMars-Cli.a (.text)                	        \
      	libMars-Cli.a *(.text.*)              	        \
      	libMars-Cli.a (.rodata)              	        \
        libMars-Cli.a *(.rodata.*)						\
    }> _region_ 	

#define SECTION_guiLib_text(_region_, _vma_, _lma_)    \
	.guiLib_text _vma_ : _lma_               	  	    \
    {                                                   \
    	FORCE_OUTPUT;\
    	KEEP(*( SORT (mars.syslog.table.*)));	\
        libMars-ATP-GUI.a (.text)                	        \
      	libMars-ATP-GUI.a *(.text.*)              	        \
      	libMars-ATP-GUI.a (.rodata)              	        \
        libMars-ATP-GUI.a *(.rodata.*)						\
    }> _region_ 	



SECTION_cliLib_tree - is fine and has the data in want.
SECTION_cliLib_text - is bad is also has the text & rodata that I want
to be in SECTION_guiLib_text.
SECTION_guiLib_text - is bad it has only the syslog table from KEEP(*(
SORT (mars.syslog.table.*)));

Please help
Elad
