Ah, sorry.

Well, these are two logically separate things: the first is just a
renamer that should basicly result in the very same images built on
all systems (which can easily be verified semi-automatically).  The
second step would be adding _end at the end of the used data area (end
of .dynsym) on ARM only.

Best regards,
