You can use following options to get information about how your image is generated by the linker:

--info=topic[,topic,...]: Displays information about various topics.
--map: Displays the image memory map, and contains the address and the size of each load region, execution region, and input section in the image, including linker-generated input sections. It also shows how RW data compression is applied.
--section_index_display: Use with --map to change the display of the index column.
--show_cmdline: Outputs the command-line used by the linker.
--symbols: Displays a list of each local and global symbol used in the link step, and its value.
--verbose: Displays detailed information about the link operation, including the objects that are included and the libraries that contain them.
--xref: Displays a list of all cross-references between input sections.
--xrefdbg: Displays a list of all cross-references between input debug sections.

The information can be written to a file using the --list=filename option.
