I vote for 437762 [1] as replacement for this patch.

It is not only the linker script which is not understood by the Darwin
linker. The linker generated lists work just differently on Darwin,
therefore a93648d197df48fa46dd55f925ff70468bd81c71 broke mkimage for me.
Guilherme told the RFC would work [2].
