+Normally, the linker will place files and sections matched by wildcards
+in the order in which they are seen during the link.  You can change
+this by using the @code{SORT} keyword, which appears before a wildcard
+pattern in parentheses (e.g., @code{SORT(.text*)}).  When the
+@code{SORT} keyword is used, the linker will sort the files or sections
+into ascending order by name before placing them in the output file.
+
 If you ever get confused about where input sections are going, use the
 @samp{-M} linker option to generate a map file.  The map file shows
 precisely how input sections are mapped to output sections.

+@cindex ARM interworking support
+@cindex --support-old-code
+For the ARM, @code{ld} will generate code stubs to allow functions calls
+betweem ARM and Thumb code.  These stubs only work with code that has
+been compiled and assembled with the @samp{-mthumb-interwork} command
+line option.  If it is necessary to link with old ARM object files or
+libraries, which have not been compiled with the -mthumb-interwork
+option then the @samp{--support-old-code} command line switch should be
+given to the linker.  This will make it generate larger stub functions
+which will work with non-interworking aware ARM code.  Note, however,
+the linker does not support generating stubs for function calls to
+non-interworking aware Thumb code.
