_lld does not seem to create the _start and end symbols for orphan sections. I would like to keep my linker script as generic as possible so how can I tell lld to create these symbols without having to add them in the linker script?

Thanks A

It works for me.

SECTIONS { data : { *(data) } }

.section data,"aw" .quad __start_orphan .quad __stop_orphan

.section orphan,"aw" .quad __start_data .quad __stop_data

Can you give an example _start or _end symbols are not defined for orphan sections?
