# *(.bss SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(.bss.*) .gnu.linkonce.b.*)
# This will eliminate most of the padding (~3kb).
# Hmm, "ld --sort-section alignment" should do it too.
+ #
+ # There is a ld hack which is meant to decrease disk usage
+ # at the cost of more RAM usage (??!!) in standard ld script:
+ # /* Adjust the address for the data segment. We want to adjust up to
+ # the same address within the page on the next page up. */
+ # . = ALIGN (0x1000) - ((0x1000 - .) & (0x1000 - 1)); . = DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN (0x1000, 0x1000);
+ # Replace it with:
+ # . = ALIGN (0x1000); . = DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN (0x1000, 0x1000);
+ # to unconditionally align .data to the next page boundary,
+ # instead of "next page, plus current offset in this page"
