Orphans are not "merged into the sections".  They have separate output
sections.  This part of your patch is just plain wrong, and will
likely break SIZEOF for other people.  I've shown you the way to
correct your linker scripts to do what you want, yet you persist in
trying to change the meaning of SIZEOF.  Why?
