+	  This determines the output sections to which the above LMA adjustment
+	  will be applied.
+	  The value can be the name of a section in the final ELF, like "text".
+	  It can also be a pattern with wildcards, such as "*bss", which could
+	  match more than one section name. Multiple such patterns can be given
+	  as a ";"-separated list. It's possible to supply a 'negative' pattern
+	  starting with "!", to exclude sections matched by a preceding pattern.
