@ -4994,6 +4994,11 @@ The special output section name @samp{/DISCARD/} may be used to discard
input sections. Any input sections which are assigned to an output
section named @samp{/DISCARD/} are not included in the output file.

discarded even if they are in an ELF section group which has other
members which are not being discarded. This is deliberate.
