Things always happen in threes...
This patch fixes an issue detected in the linking stage of the at91bootstraploader from gcc-4.6.x release.
Indeed from this gcc release the linking stage fails due to an overlap between text.startup and data section.
To fix this issue we need to modify the linker script in order to add the text.startup input section into the text output section.
