ld-scripts/start.s seems to be missing.  You might also like to
consider adding the attached patch, which removes the need to specify
"SECTIONS { }" in --text-ordering-file scripts and gives a syntax
error on trying to alter output sections' address, type, alignment
etc.  Since we ignore them in lang_enter_output_section_statement for
--text-ordering-file scripts we probably ought to make it explicit.
