+@kindex --code-region

+argument passed to GCC for -mcode-region is propagated to the linker
+using this option.

+@kindex --data-region
+@item --data-region=[either,lower,upper,none]
+This will transform .data*, .bss* and .rodata* sections to

+@kindex --disable-sec-transformation
+@item --disable-sec-transformation
+Prevent the transformation of sections as specified by the @code{--code-region}
+and @code{--data-region} options.
+This is useful if you are compiling and linking using a single call to the GCC
+wrapper, and want to compile the source files using -m[code,data]-region but
+not transform the sections for prebuilt libraries and objects.
