Hi Nick,

Thank you for your reply. I have now resolved the issue. It finally turned out 
to be a rather stupid problem. I had used gcc for executing ld and this gcc I 
had been using took ld from some other path than I expected...

Concerning the assigning sections to banks issue, I finally came to the 
conclusion that the better place to do is a bit earlier than "assign 
orphans". I now have a working version: My present change uses the 
ldemul_after_open hook for assigning the appropriate sections. I think that I 
will shortly be suggesting a corresponding patch for mainline. I only would 
like to discuss beforehand with the hc12 maintainers for gcc about their 
opinion for adding support for the "larger" hcs 12 devices.

Bjoern.
