//
// The order of the sections in the script is arbitrary and may not agree with

// ordering. To see why, consider a comparison of a section in the script and
// one not in the script. We have a two simple options:
// * Make them equivalent (a is not less than b, and b is not less than a).
// The problem is then that equivalence has to be transitive and we can
// have sections a, b and c with only b in a script and a less than c
// which breaks this property.
// * Use compareSectionsNonScript. Given that the script order doesn't have
// to match, we can end up with sections a, b, c, d where b and c are in the
// script and c is compareSectionsNonScript less than b. In which case d
// can be equivalent to c, a to b and d < a. As a concrete example:
// .a (rx) # not in script
// .b (rx) # in script
// .c (ro) # in script
// .d (ro) # not in script
//
// The way we define an order then is:
// * Sort only the orphan sections. They are in the end right now.
// * Move each orphan section to its preferred position. We try
// to put each section in the last position where it can share
// a PT_LOAD.
//
