Re: writing linker scripts...

[Alan Lehotsky <apl at alum dot mit dot edu>]

Nick,

  The -no-check-sections was just the ticket.

  Is there anyway to set that from inside the linker script, so that it's ALWAYS
asserted?

  I know I could make gcc always pass -Wl,-no-check-sections to every compile, but
I want to catch people who think that they can do 'ld' commands directly too.

	The two MEMORY declarations approach doesn't work.

	Nor did adding (w) vs (wx) attributes on the memory regions to
	try to disambiguate them....
