Hi Sebastian,

  Why not use a pre-processor instead ?  For example your board specific file
could look like this:

  MEMORY {
        ROM_REGION (RX) : ORIGIN = 0x10000000, LENGTH = 256M
        RAM_REGION (AIW) : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 256M
  }

  #define TEXT_REGION ROM_REGION
  #define DATA_REGION RAM_REGION
  #define BSS_REGION  RAM_REGION
  #include "linkcmds.base"

and where you would have "gcc -T <board-script> ..." as your command line you
could use:

  cpp <board-script> <tmp-full-script>
  gcc -T <tmp-full-script>
  rm <tmp-full-script>

The point being that there is no need to add any extra functionality to the
linker, along with the possibility of introducing new bugs.

Cheers
  Nick
