Hi Shaun,

I can
understand that a non-ARM object file with a text section is rather
nonsensical, but it seems to me that the linker should be able to deal
with a non-ARM object file if it only contains a data section, as is
the case with the output of objcopy -Ibinary -Oelf. Are you arguing
that the above shouldn't work,

No, in theory it should work.

or that it doesn't work at the moment due to technical limitations?

Correct. (Please feel free to submit a patch to remove these technical limitations if you so wish. Although it will be quite a lot of work :-)

Cheers
  Nick
