Here is a testcase:

[hjl@gnu 1]$ make
gcc -c foo.s
gcc -c bar.s
ld -r -o new.o foo.o bar.o
bar: discarded in section `.text[.foo]' from bar.o
make: [new.o] Error 1 (ignored)
/usr/bin/ld -r -o old.o foo.o bar.o
bar: discarded in section `.text' from bar.o
make: [old.o] Error 1 (ignored)

There may be many `.text' sections in bar.o. `.text[.foo]' is more
useful.
