I have no idea what that means or where you got it from. What about it!?
Tell is what or where it is so we might interepret what you are
concerned about.

What appears in an object file and what appears in the binary are two
different things. Some information is there to help the linker and
debugger and are not incorporated into the ROM image. If you want to
find out what is where and how much space it takes, generate a link map
when you execute the linker.

Sorry there are lines from the *.map file.

You have right, I changed the linker script and the .comment section
will not appear in the binary.
(My first idea was to recompile the libc and the *.o-s with -fno-ident
option.)

Ah! that makes much more sense on one line! ;-)
