  It arises because there are input sections in some of the input object files
that aren't mentioned in your linker script.  Ld doesn't throw anything away
unless you tell it to, so it maps input sections that don't match any SECTIONS
entry to a default output section at base zero.  See "3.6.7 Output Section
Discarding" in the info/man page.

  You need to add DISCARDs or NOLOADs for all these sections.  Use ".debug*"
to match all the debug info sections in one go.
