Why do you ignore my previous review comments?

You cannot simply turn this feature on globally for all boards.  You
will have to make appropriate adjustments more or less everywhere:

- some architectures already have these options set, so these should
  be removed from the architecture / board specific config files

- other architectures have this NOT set, and they need adjustments to
  the respective inker scripts.

As is, your patch breaks a zillion of boards.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
