  There's no way in the world any kind of autoconfig process could examine
the target board you are planning to use for your cross compiled code and
find out how much ram and rom it has, what locations they can be addressed
at, and what purposes they are intended for, so the toolchain is always
going to need at least as much manual intervention as it takes to write a
linker script as well.
