after studying the section 3.6.4.1 about specifying files in the
archives by writing a pattern.
I changed my ld script as below and put some object files below link_folder:

OUTPUT_ARCH(mips)
ENTRY(entry)
SECTIONS
{
  .begin 0xbfb00000 :
  {
        *(.begin)
        . = ALIGN(8);
        _end_begin = ABSOLUTE(.);
  }
  .onlyText 0x80000000 : /*AT(_end_begin)*/
  {
        link_folder: (*.text)
        lib1.a:(*.text)
  }
  .wholelib 0x81000000 :
  {
     lib2.a:
  }
  .text : { *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*.a ) .text)}
  .data : { *(EXCLUDE_FILE (*.a ) .data) }
}

# ls link_folder/ -lht
total 12K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.8K 2011-05-01 20:42 file1.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7K 2011-05-01 20:42 main.o
#


I still cannot find the section name, onlyText and wholelib, in my elf
content with link command as below:
mipsel-linux-gnu-ld -T ./link.xn -o TEST_LINK.elf -Map TEST_LINK.map
--oformat elf32-tradlittlemips lib1.a lib2.a  file1.o main.o
