Dear Trent Piepho,

so, what's the status of this patch? I've seen this fail on 83xx. Most of these types of patches that fix the newer gcc's behaviour have been dropped, one of which even did sorting on name and alignment:

Do I need to make one for 83xx and apply it myself?
Wolfgang rejected mine because he wanted a patch that fixed every single board in one shot. I didn't feel like patching a hundred other linker scripts I knew nothing about.
Why not? If you know what you are doing (and I have strong resons to believe that you do) then I think your fix should be applied to all systems that are affected by the problem.
I do not want to fix only a subset of the boards and see people wasting time because they run into the same issue gaiagn and again on still unfixed systems.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
