3.6.2 Output Section Name  The name of the output section is
section. section must meet the constraints of your output
format. In formats which only support a limited number of
sections, such as a.out, the name must be one of the names
supported by the format (a.out, for example, allows only
`.text', `.data' or `.bss'). If the output format supports any
number of sections, but with numbers and not names (as is the
case for Oasys), the name should be supplied as a quoted numeric
string. A section name may consist of any sequence of
characters, but a name which contains any unusual characters
such as commas must be quoted.  The output section name
`/DISCARD/' is special; Output Section Discarding.
