I believe the idea is that with these options, the build produces not 
one single input section for all code and one single input section for 
all data of a given object file, but one input section per function and 
one input section per variable, thus allowing the linker file to 
fin-grain-tune the content of the isolated sector(s), specifying exactly 
which function or (initialized) data would go in there.

Amicalement,
