@annita.zhang Thanks for weighing in! AFAIK, .plt.sec is a section synthesized by the linker. GCC doesn't know or have to know how PLT entries are represented.

This is less of a concern to me. Even GNU objdump compiled from binutils-gdb trunk (the same repository as ld.bfd) doesn't know how to symbolize such .plt.sec or .plt entries, so I believe the tooling is still immature and the adoption is low.

Annita, you and Xiang may have better ideas which parties should be involved in the discussion. Could one of you start a thread on x86-64-abi, binutils, and gnu-gabi? And/or gcc (if you think GCC folks should also be involved). You may CC Rui, Peter, and me.
