I verified with ARMGCC and booted. I did a build of MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dsc with GCC47 and the ld commands worked without a problem and I checked that HelloWorld.efi was produced. I looked at ld --help for gnu ld version 2.13.2.1 (2002) and it claims to support --start-group and --end-group, so I assume it will work properly in most any ld more recent than that.

The short version options are replaced with the long version options. When running ld directly under Windows it doesn't require the "(" or ")" to be escaped. Changing to the long version should make the commands safe for Linux and Windows.
