        <pre>I found this while building the Linux kernel, in
drivers/soc/tegra/fuse/speedo-tegra124.c:

$ clang -Wall -O2 -no-integrated-as -fno-strict-overflow -c test.c
/tmp/test-d0fed2.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/test-d0fed2.s:25: Warning: entity size for SHF_MERGE not specified

$ cat test.c
static int a[][1] __attribute__((__section__(".init.rodata"))) = {{}};
int b;
int fn1(void) {
  for (;;)
    if (a[b][0])
      for (;;)
        ;
}

It appears to be related to a old bug that was marked fixed in 2010
<a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_RESOLVED  bz_closed"
   title="RESOLVED FIXED - size missing in mergeable section"
