This change breaks arm-none-eabi.
elf.sc (and other scripts based on it) already contain ${OTHER_END_SYMBOLS}
right at the end of the script, as documented at the top of that file.
The later (older) occurance overrides the one you added, so __bss_start__ ends
up at the wrong place.
A quick grep though emulparams/ indicates some targets are using the old
meaning.
