Does
 const char *cpu_hwconfig __attribute__((weak)) = "";
 const char *board_hwconfig __attribute__((weak)) = "";
need to ptrs instead of an array?
 const char cpu_hwconfig[] __attribute__((weak)) = "";
 const char board_hwconfig[] __attribute__((weak)) = "";

All these static string pointers costs extra space, in this case
2x4 bytes for the ptr and 2 fixup entries = 16 bytes
