Dear Trent Piepho,

A recent gcc added a new unaligned rodata section called '.rodata.str1.1', which needs to be added the the linker script. Instead of just adding this one section, we use a wildcard ".rodata*" to get all rodata linker section gcc has now and might add in the future.

I change this to:
*(.text) . = ALIGN(16); *(.eh_frame) *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
Unfortunately it turns out that this breaks some older tool chains. For example, using ELDK 3.1 (binutils 2.14-5) we get:
arm-linux-ld:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/cpu/s3c44b0/u-boot.lds:39: parse error
It seems this old version of ld does not understand the
*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))
line yet.
Do you see any want to make this backward compatible with older versions of ld?
Thanks in advance.
Any comments on this? Or anybody else?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
