I have a hardware requirement where by I need to locate a data segement
on a 64K byte boundary. The object file (for this data segment) is located
in an archive file.

My question is: what is the syntax I use in the *.sc file (for ld) to
identify a specific object file in the archive ?

Stated another way: I know I can use

SECTION
{
    :
    :
  .file_data ALIGN(0x10000) :
  {
    file_da.o;
  }
    :
    :
}

to specify the alignment for an object file in the current directory,
but how do I do this for an object file in an archive file ?

I have looked high and low in the manual, but with no success.

Any suggestions/solutions ?
