Dear Trent Piepho,
In message 1234999325-13456-1-git-send-email-tpiepho@freescale.com you wrote:
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.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
