.The `ld` linker of `binutils` supports the `--section-ordering-file` option You can now use the new `--section-ordering-file` command-line option with `ld.bfd`, the default system linker, to group sections of code or data that can benefit from being in proximity to each other. This feature improves performance of programs by reducing cache misses. You can use profiling tools to analyze use of your program's code over time, and then improve code grouping in the executable image. As a result, you have more control over the layout of your programs in memory. The `--section-ordering-file` option also enhances compatibility with the `gold` and `lld` linkers, which already provide this feature.
