I'll let you know if I run into problems. I just got one build failure on a randconfig build with THIN_ARCHIVES but without LD_DCDE: /home/arnd/cross-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: section .data VMA [0000000000808000,000000000096cc7f] overlaps section .text VMA [0000000000080080,00000000008a8427] /home/arnd/cross-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: section .rodata VMA [00000000008a9000,0000000000ea216f] overlaps section .data VMA [0000000000808000,000000000096cc7f] /home/arnd/cross-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: section .bss VMA [000000000096cd00,000000000157896f] overlaps section .rodata VMA [00000000008a9000,0000000000ea216f] /home/arnd/cross-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: section __param VMA [0000000000ea2170,0000000000ea5257] overlaps section .bss VMA [000000000096cd00,000000000157896f] haven't spent any time analyzing it further, maybe you can see right away what caused this.
