  You guys are making my head hurt!  How is that supposed to work, when -T
"replaces `ld''s default linker script (rather than adding to it)"?  What is
there to INSERT AFTER if you use -T?

  As far as I understand you don't want to use any option at all.  Just pass
the name of the script fragment on the command-line (regardless whether passed
via gcc or invoking ld directly) and it gets appended to the default script.

    cheers,
