             Bug #: 14948
           Summary: GOLD should support ordering sections as ld does with
                    option '--sort-section'
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden

    Classification: Unclassified


BFD linker supports option '--sort-section=name', which allows sections like
.text.hot0001, .text.hot0002 etc to be placed in target executable in
alphabetical order. This option has been used by Intel compiler to make
function code layout more deterministic.

This feature is important for generated code performance.
