> unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: section .data.patch [a000000000000500 -> a000000000000507] overlaps section .dynamic [a0000000000003c8 -> a000000000000507]

Andrew Morton saw a similar thing and proposed

- . = GATE_ADDR + 0x500;
+ . = GATE_ADDR + 0x600;

in gate.lds.S ... which does appear to work around the problem.

Peter Chubb dug into this a lot deeper and found the problem
only occurs with certain cross compilation environments. See
his thoughts here:

Your config built just fine for me using a native 3.4.6 version
of gcc.
