Thanks for letting me know about these issues.

Unfortunately, there is essentially nothing I can do to fix it.  I
have neither the time nor the expertise to debug kernel problems.  If
people familiar with the kernel can pin down the difference between
what GNU ld and gold are doing, such that gold causes a failure, that
would be extremely helpful.  The differences tend to be due to
undocumented linker script behaviour or disagreements about alignment.
