+The structure created is named with a special prefix and placed by
+the linker in a special section using the linker lists mechanism
+(see include/linker_lists.h)
 
 This makes it possible for the final link to extract all commands
 compiled into any object code and construct a static array so the
-command can be found in an array starting at __u_boot_cmd_start.
+command array can be iterated over using the linker lists macros.
+
+The linker lists feature ensures that the linker does not discard
+these symbols when linking full U-Boot even though they are not
+referenced in the source code as such.
 
 If a new board is defined do not forget to define the command section
 by writing in u-boot.lds ($(TOPDIR)/board/boardname/u-boot.lds) these
