This series addresses - hardcoded load address, use LOADADDR if available as the entry point instead - fix thumb build, jumping with 'go' to the entry point expects arm code
Note that in addition to the two fixes I've seen random freezes or 'random' printed stuff when using an early linaro gcc 6 compiler. Adding an initialized variable helped in that case static int dummy_var_in_text = 1; I assume that this forces alignment of some linker sections. (e.g. I see that __bss_start points to 0x1201027e, with the variable this moves to 0x12010280)
However with the current linaro compilers this does not happen so I don't propose a patch for this issue. Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.05 5.4.1 20170404 Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05 6.3.1 20170404 Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.05 7.1.1 20170510

Changes in v2: - Don't confuse loadaddr with entry point as reported by Wolfgang. - Change the assembly magic to a C function and use __attribute__ to force arm instruction set. - Keep the entry point name hello_world as reported by Wolfgang.
