I think that was that before. But as Davide mentioned "If FreeBSD can change his linker script, fine, great for them. But not everybody has the same luxury."
Basing on that we probably want to implement something very simple and short. This heuristics looks work equal to lld and it is just a single method, probably
it can meet the needs of users well.

I also think we can implement a warning, saying there are orphan sections found to force users to update their scripts in a soft way.
