Hmm. My gut feel is that this just exposes some bug in binutils.

That said, maybe that commit should not have added its own /DISCARDS/
thing, and instead just added that "*(.note.GNU-stack)" to the general
/DISCARDS/ thing that is defined by the

  #define DISCARDS  ..

a little bit later, so that we only end up with one single DISCARD
list. Something like this (broken patch on purpose):

But maybe that DISCARDS macrop ends up being used too late?

It really shouldn't matter, but here we are, with a build problem with
some random old binutils on an odd platform..
