Unfortunately it turns out that this breaks some older tool chains.
For example, using ELDK 3.1 (binutils 2.14-5) we get:

arm-linux-ld:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/cpu/s3c44b0/u-boot.lds:39: parse error

It seems this old version of ld does not understand the

	*(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*)))

line yet.

Do you see any want to make this backward compatible with older
versions of ld?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
