[Bug ld/4643] New: linker scripts do not accept symbols in MEMORY section

[axelheider at gmx dot de]

The following script returns an error "nonconstant expression for origin".
Any reasions why symbols are not allowed?

FLASH_START = 0x10000;
FLASH_END   = 0x20000;

RAM_START   = 0x80000;
RAM_END     = 0x90000;

MEMORY {
    FLASH : ORIGIN = FLASH_START, LENGTH = FLASH_END - FLASH_START
    RAM   : ORIGIN = RAM_START,   LENGTH = RAM_END - RAM_START
}


FYI: A similar problem is also described here
