Comment (by awson):

 If somebody wants to enjoy the benefits of `-split-sections` vs `-split-
 objs` (they are tremendous) '''immediately''', she has the following
 options:

 1. I could try to put linker script patches to upstream `binutils`.
 Honestly, I don't want to bother with this ATM;
 2. I could publish these patches for those interested to build their own
 `binutils`;
 3. I could publish linker scripts which could be used with existing
 `binutils`.

 Since all options require (at least) to modify any existing build scripts,
 I believe that, perhaps, the option 3 might be the most welcomed one.
 OTOH, options 2 and 3 require more involvement than the first one.
