Thank you for your reply firstly, I think your way is OK (valuable to
continue think of the details implementation).

And excuse me, I continued replying multiple times for this thread (I
am just continue improving it).

Current status:

  after check the binutils-2.22 source code, we know if use "-no-warn-mismatch" for 'ld', it can avoid this issue.

  and also for another 'ld' issue (which I occurs but not send mail), need use "-accept-unknown-input-arch" for 'ld':
    "Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-h8300 (firmware/keyspan/mpr.fw.gen.o) to format elf32-h8300 (firmware/built-in.o) is not supported"

  ... maybe find more issues during compiling with 'allmodconfig'.


My opinion:

  if h8300 is still one of important architecture, we need try to "let our binary match 'ld'"
  else just use skipping parameters is OK.

  In my current feeling, h8300 is not one of important architecture, so I choose 2nd.


Welcome additional suggestion or completions.


Thanks.
