Hi Wolfgang,
Is the plan to apply these patches for the upcoming release, or the
release after that one?  I ask because some of X-ES's boards broke when
the 85xx linker script was consolidated.  These patches fix the
breakage, but if these patches won't be included in the upcoming release
I'll send a small fixup just for X-ES's boards.

Thanks,
Peter
