Currently, we instantiate input sections when we read them from files, so the decision whether the sections are to be string-merged or not is made when we read files. That's too early if you allow linker scripts to combine non-mergeable sections with mergeable ones. I do not have a clear idea how to deal with this. If you have an idea, and if it's going to be a large change, please discuss before writing a patch.


Yep, I also today faced it is not trivial task. At first I thought it is possible to convert mergable section to regular, but probably better would be to create regular ones at the begining. 
I have no good ideas how to do that without early sections scan. Will revisit this later.
