uped together - and as a result of it being the first output section, they all appear before any other section. The result is that not only is the unwind information discarded (as intended), but also the .exit.text, despite us wanting to have the .exit.text preserved. We can't move the unwind information elsewhere, because it'll then be included even when we do actually discard the .exit.text (and similar) sections. So, work around this by avoiding the generic DISCARDS macro, and instead conditionalize the sections to be discarded ourselves. This avoids the ambiguity in how the linker assigns input sections to output sections, making our script less dependent on undocumented linker behaviour.
