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?
