It appears to happen for msp430-gcc because it isn't used the
ELF object format. At least that's what gcc thinks. Here's the
code in toplev.c that generates the warning:
#ifndef OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF
if (flag_function_sections && write_symbols != NO_DEBUG)
warning ("-ffunction-sections may affect debugging on some targets");
#endif
Why is OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF not defined?
