It's supposed to be after BSS_SECTION.  I'll send you a new pair of 
patches with this fixed and Sam's acks added shortly.

These were build-tested originally; it seems I introduced this bug when 
rebasing the patch past the recent DISCARD changes, and failed to retest.  
Sorry about that (I think you are right that it was more generally a 
mistake to not clearly tag these patches as build-but-not-run tested in 
the first place.  I'll do that in the future).

My cross-compile environment is unavailable at present, so the new version 
will be completely untested as well.
