Using the command file:
SECTIONS
{
        my_first_section 0x1000 : { *(.my_first_section) }
        my_second_section 0x2000 : { *(.my_second_section) }
}

OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf64-sparc")
OUTPUT_ARCH(sparc:v9a)

I was able to produce the following sections (from elfdump):
Section Header[1]:  sh_name: my_second_section
    sh_addr:      0x2000          sh_flags:   0
    sh_size:      0x1e000         sh_type:    [ SHT_PROGBITS ]
    sh_offset:    0               sh_entsize: 0
    sh_link:      0               sh_info:    0
    sh_addralign: 0x10000       

Section Header[2]:  sh_name: my_first_section
    sh_addr:      0x1000          sh_flags:   0
    sh_size:      0x3008          sh_type:    [ SHT_PROGBITS ]
    sh_offset:    0x1e000         sh_entsize: 0
    sh_link:      0               sh_info:    0
    sh_addralign: 0x2000

The address of my_first_section plus its size is beyond the starting
address of my_second_section. 

It should warn/error me that I am overlapping sections in virtual
address space? Or perhaps the problem is that I am trying to move around
non-allocatable sections? Shouldn't this be a warning as well?
