+``.section`` Directive
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to support creating multiple sections with the same name and comdat,
+it is possible to add an unique number at the end of the ``.seciton`` directive.
+For example, the following code creates two sections named ``.text``.
+
+.. code-block:: gas
+
+ .section .text,"ax",@progbits,unique,1
+ nop
+
+ .section .text,"ax",@progbits,unique,2
+ nop
+
+
+The unique number is not present in the resulting object at all. It is just used
+in the assembler to differentiate the sections.
