I agree that the tests are wrong and the fix for ld/12001 is correct.

The -defsyms were in the tests originally to ensure that the code was
put at particular locations to make sure we generated the correct
relocation veneers when necessary.

The current default ld script lays the code out as desired for the
tests, and so your proposed change is correct.  But in an effort to keep
these tests future proof I suggest that we force the '.text' section to
start at 0x8000 on the command line as well as the 'destsect' section.
I have attached a patch which does this.  

Any comments welcome, and if there are no issues can someone please
approve.

Thanks,

Matt
