Is this really needed?  As far as I can see CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS
is not defined anywhere in any ARM related fiole, so there shouldbe no
need to undef it.

This is wrong. You must not use RAM for the initial stack, or it
cannot be initialized / tested as it should be.  If you hav eno static
RAM or other on-chip memory that could be used, you might try and lock
(some part of) the data cache and use this as storage for the initial
global data and stack.

Best regards,
