Agreed. It's what x86 did when facing the same thing. If anybody
cares about the obscure corner-case you identify then they can just
use -z max-page-size. Or edit elf32-arm.c.

I dislike configure time options that affect linker behaviour, but I
realise I'm flogging a dead horse since we already have a lot of them.
However, this particular option is worse than most since it affects
all ELF targets. That can't be correct or useful with
--enable-targets=all.
