NAK.
Sorry, this doesn't work. We cannot have one board compile this way,
and another one another way - one working with that tool chain and
the other with another tool chain only.
Theproblem you're addressing is a bug, and not only on this single
board, but everywhere. So it must be fixed everywhere.
Either we add manual relocation to these pointers like we do
elsewhere (that would be my recommendation for a quick workaround aka
bug fix for this release), or we should find a clean way to get real
relocation working (that would be much better, but probably it is too
late for this release).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
