Restarting linking from write phase (PR 24373)

[Tamar Christina]

Thanks Nick,

I have indeed gone with that approach, but if someone has a way to get the best of both worlds I'd be more than happy to revisit it.

Cheers,
Tamar

Hi Tamar,

> So my question is, does anyone know if it's possible to do this? Or should I just add a new option that assumes the space saving is possible and errors out if it turns out an address is out of range.

Given the silence so far, I would guess that restarting the link is not
really possible.  (Certainly that is my feeling for the situation).
Hence going with the assumption option is probably the best way forward.

Cheers
