Hi Nick,

I compiled binutils for both ARM and X86 and wrote a python script (attached)
to test the patch

The script creates a simple source file and compiles and links it using
different compilation and linking arguments. Verification is done for each
step. Between ARM and x86 there are no differences in behavior, so I report one
of two results:
