This is in a host tool, so it depends on the builtin linker script the
toolchain decides to use. This is risky, though, as it may be using
PROVIDE() for _end, which means that in cases where it doesn't break,
other references to _end that may exist will be linked to the wrong
symbol. I don't think 'build' should be expected to do anything
interesting with its own representation in memory, but better fix it
nonetheless.

Arvind: mind sending a fix for this, please?
