It's probably open for change. We'd have to work out who (if anyone)
was relying on the current behaviour and someone would have to be
motivated enough to write the patch.

Incidentally, what linker are you using? Neither ld.bfd nor ld.gold
actually seem to diagnose this if there *is* a mismatch. So changing
it wouldn't seem to improve matters much.

Cheers.
