We currently don't use a linker script. Here's the complete linker
line:
alpha--netbsd-ld -Ttext 0x20000000 -N -e start -o bootxx_ffs.sym \
start.o bootxx.o booted_dev.o blkdev.o prom.o prom_disp.o putstr.o \
panic_putstr.o lib/sa/libsa.a kern/libkern.a -Map bootxx_ffs.map
Since we don't already use (and therefore have to maintain) a separate
linker script, a command line option to not generate these new .eh_frame
sections seems like the cleanest solution to me.
Cheers,
Simon.
