 * been compiled with the -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections GCC options.
 *
 * The tool compares the objects at a section level to determine what
 * sections have changed.  Once a list of changed sections has been generated,
 * various rules are applied to determine any object local sections that
 * are dependencies of the changed section and also need to be included in
 * the output object.
