I made a (hopefully) final version, as I noticed there are some
differences in the output. The PROVIDEs are now the same as in the current
version, as is the alignement of .data . (This alignment saves about 1kB
of the output file size.) The differences in output compare to the current
version now are (except the correct paddr):
- .text is merged with .rodata
- the symbol "etext" points after the .text section, before all the
.rodata.str* and link_set* sections . Originally it pointed after the
link_set* sections.
I guess this is harmless.
Comments?
