A little grepping gave the following result:
i386/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf_i386 m68k/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m m68kelf mips/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -G 0 ppc64/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf64ppc s390/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf_s390 s390x/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf64_s390 sh/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -EL sh/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -EB sparc/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf32_sparc sparc64/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf64_sparc x86_64/Makefile:LDFLAGS := -m elf_x86_64
Little less than half of the architectures defines their own LDFLAGS. Most of them set an emulation, most probarly inherited from i386.

I do not know, but as can be seen above several architectures use it.
I have seen your proposed patch for gnu.linkonce. I do prefer to have it in arch/v850/Makefile because this is a workaround for an architecture specific bug in ld. Why not provide your own link script?
