Hi Guys,

   I have applied a patch to bring GOLD's handling of MEMORY regions 
into line with LD's behaviour.  With this patch applied there are still 
two discrepancies in the output of the two linkers when running the 
rgn-at5/memory_test testcase.

   1. GOLD creates an extra segment to hold the program headers, LD does 
not.

   2. GOLD orders the sections in the section header by file offset, LD 
orders them by the sequence in which they were declared in the linker 
script.

I do not feel that these are major issues, but I am leaving the PR open 
in case anyone else feels differently.

Cheers
   Nick

PS.  I tried to upload the patch to the Issue, but the bugzilla system 
would not let me.  So instead I am attaching it to this email.
