- Do not create any default object sections. On targets with section-based smartlink these sections remain empty and only cause linker to do useless job of removing them. The same happens when loading object files because duplicate section names are allowed at that time. On targets without smartlink they don't stay empty, but the internal assembler creates sections when required, so not creating initial sections effectively doesn't change anything.
