Reviewing ld command line I found interesting option that seems to be usefull to have:
(https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#Options)

--orphan-handling=MODE
Control how orphan sections are handled. An orphan section is one not specifically mentioned in a linker script. See Orphan Sections.
MODE can have any of the following values:

place
Orphan sections are placed into a suitable output section following the strategy described in Orphan Sections. The option `--unique' also effects how sections are placed. 
discard
All orphan sections are discarded, by placing them in the `/DISCARD/' section (see Output Section Discarding). 
warn
The linker will place the orphan section as for place and also issue a warning. 
error
The linker will exit with an error if any orphan section is found.
The default if `--orphan-handling' is not given is place.

Patch implements it.
