Hi Evandro,

  Thanks for the patch.  I have applied it together with the changelog entry
below.  Plus I added a line about it to the ld/NEWS file, and I created a linker
testsuite test for it so that we can be sure that the option continues to work.

  Interestingly the new test fails for the cr16-elf and crx-elf ports, but I
could not determine why this was happening.

Cheers
  Nick
