Since we have to live with objcopy lossage for now, how about dynamically
generating the ldscript?

The below simple script outputs the dynamic part from the kernel objects,
someone with awk knowledge could easily redo that and output the whole 
ldscript.

#! /bin/sh

SETS=`objdump -x *.o | fgrep "RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [link_set" | \
        sort -u | sed 's/^.*\[\(.*\)\]:$/\1/'`

for s in $SETS; do
        printf "  . = ALIGN(4);\n"
        printf "  PROVIDE (__start_%s = .);\n" $s
        printf "  *(%s)\n" $s
        printf "  PROVIDE (__stop_%s = .);\n" $s
done
