Hello Daniel,

as you reported that the rom.lds gives errors with binutils >=
2.15, I prepared a patch utilizing the same technique as Linus
used for adapting app.lds to the newer binutils.

Please check if it does work for you now. It works for me
(binutils 2.14), and the resulting binary seems to run fine, but
then I can test on recorder V1 only.

Regards, Jens


Here's the patch as cleartext, in case the attachment doesn't
get through on the list:
