No investigation needed. U-Boot, at least on Octeon, requires only one (executable) program header, so it's necessary for Octeon to use its own ldscript -- I suspect other bootloaders have likewise weird constraints. That said, there's really no need for all of these separate linker scripts, assuming you use buildkernel and have TARGET_ABI set right when you build kernel-toolchain. I use a single linker script for all Octeon kernels, I think. You don't need to specify the output format. Juli.
