I can't get NOLOAD working any more. This used to work before binutils_2_36.
Default linker script 'cc430f5137.ld' is overloaded with a script file (without
-T)
SECTIONS
{
.infoA (NOLOAD) : {} > INFOA
.infoB (NOLOAD) : {} > INFOB
.infoC (NOLOAD) : {} > INFOC
.infoD (NOLOAD) : {} > INFOD
}
From ld man page:
If the linker cannot recognize the format of an object file, it
will assume that it is a linker script. A script specified in
this way augments the main linker script used for the link
(either the default linker script or the one specified by using
-T). This feature permits the linker to link against a file
which appears to be an object or an archive, but actually merely
defines some symbol values, or uses "INPUT" or "GROUP" to load
other objects. Specifying a script in this way merely augments
the main linker script, with the extra commands placed after the
main script; use the -T option to replace the default linker
script entirely, but note the effect of the "INSERT" command.
Default cc430f5137.ld...
....
.infoA : {} > INFOA /* MSP430 INFO FLASH MEMORY SEGMENTS */
.infoB : {} > INFOB
.infoC : {} > INFOC
.infoD : {} > INFOD
....
Modifying default script with NOLOAD works, but not if I try to overload it.
