[PATCH] D44969: ELF: Place ordered sections in the middle of the unordered section list on targets with limited-range branches.

That looks reasonable to me. Another heuristic that can be used in at least C programs is to look for the sections with the most number of calls to them and place these in the centre. This tends to reduce the number of thunks as many library functions are called from all over the program, however I think the performance loss of going through a thunk means that moving the hot functions makes more sense.
