If a user reads the headers or the linker scripts directly, the extra         
sections could be misleading for the user.                                     
    
Making it specific per architecture
ld/emulparams/<arch>.sh is made to contain the flash size or can be deduced, 
the info can be used up here to control the number of sections.

Those comments were immediate thoughts that came across when I saw the scripts.
