This is because all boards used the same script anyway, so there was
no use in keeping multiple copies of the same file. But please note
that nothing prevents you to use a local, customized linker script.
All you need to do is set it's name in you config.mk (add a line
"LDSCRIPT=<your name>").

Use a customized linker script.
