Looks like we got a bit ahead of ourselves, this trips up some warnings
like
riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.got' from `init/main.o' being placed in section `.got'
riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.got.plt' from `init/main.o' being placed in section `.got.plt'
I'm going to drop this for now, Alex is looking at a better fix. Sorry
for the churn!
