The problem with this is that such an approach requires an updated 
Binutils distro each time something needs to be changed in the linker 
script.

That's actually another reason for having the script in djdev, even 
though GCC comes with its version: you can use it as a kind of ``backup 
plan'' in case the one that comes with GCC  causes trouble or is not up 
to date.
