Thank you! Changing this line in the linker script resulted in the
correct behavior.  In the meantime I downloaded binutils 2.23, and it
looks like the fix has been applied. Out of curiosity, since what
version of binutils is the bugfix out, or has the patch been applied
to all the downloadable released versions?
