This linker script:

---
SECTIONS
{
  .text : {*(.text)}
  . = ALIGN(CONSTANT (MAXPAGESIZE));
  .data : {*(.data)}
  /DISCARD/ : {*(*)}
}
---

calls fold_name on MAXPAGESIZE before open_output is called.

We may set and get page sizes in linker. In linker script, we should use
emulation target, which may be different from output target, to get
page size, We need to set page size for emulation target in
gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option. We also need to set page
size for output target in ldemul_set_output_arch.

OK to install?

Thanks.
