I read about this and added a KEEP() around the regarding input  
sections, but it should not matter in this case, because for the  
variant.S file it works.

Yes, I can reproduce it. Just now it did 2 tests:

rm -rf *
ecosconfig new skmb91302 redboot
ecosconfig tree
make

Code is in when it is in variant.S, after that the same procedure with  
the code in platform.S and the code is not there.
