I don't understand one thing.  Is this patch now using the linker script 
for all architectures?  If so, it should be enough to call it 
LDFLAGS_USER and add LDFLAGS+=$(USER_LDFLAGS) where the configuration of 
linker scripts used to be done in the Makefile--or not?

BTW, maybe now the -Wl,-shared trick for self-virtualization can be 
replaced with -fpie (position independent executable)?
