Thanks for working on this.  You can run the test suite using QEMU, it
is slow but it does the job.  You do need to treat one of test case
because it has too many sections that gold runs out of simulated
memory.  One caveat is that QEMU does not catch unaligned accesses, we
had bugs due to unaligned accesses in the past.  Incremental linking
never works on ARM, BTW.

I will take a look at your patch.
