# Under normal compilation we rely on splat to use a discard option in the ldscript
# to not include sections in the elf then just output all sections, however under debug we want
# to have debug sections.
# In debugging mode splat is told to output a list of sections it is custom creating, which are
# all of the sections we export to the z64 file with an objcopy. The below chunk of code is
# responsible for adding -j to each of the names and outputting a file for objcopy to use
# so we can still generate a elf file with all the extra debugging sections and still output
# the required sections to the .z64 without outputting everything.
