Note that while I agree that it sounds sensible, it would be good to have somebody specify exactly what changes from the use of "-ffreestanding".
I _assume_ that all the things that gcc takes for granted are things that Linux already has its own definitions for, and that -ffreestanding doesn't actually change anything for at least the regular architectures. But if there is any object code changes, can you check those out and explain them?
