He. Of course I can only ask to provide patch that, to the best of Trent's experience, is supposed to fix the problems. I am aware thatthere is a chance that it will not work on some boards, but then it's up to the board maintainers to complain and to help fixing this (rpobabmly small) number of remaining issues.
Very well, I will send a jumbo patch that fixes all boards. It was produced by an overly complicated perl script that attempts to parse the entire linker script and make sure there is no weirdness. Like rodata sections intermixed with non-rodata sections, multiple sections defined on a single line, eh_frame appearing in a different section than rodata, rodata sections not all placed into the same linker section, etc.
