Hi Ilias,

The reason we end up with both hash and gnu.hash is because the hash

If we do keep one, it should probably be .hash -- see commit b02bfc4dfc.
I admit I'm completely mystified as to why we need the hash tables at
all. The ELF spec says those are just for the dynamic linker, but
neither the EFI code nor the self-relocating thunk require it, and I
don't know of any target where the u-boot ELF itself is the shipped
binary. For all I know, there never was a need to include .hash and
Albert's commit fixed whatever problem he was facing only accidentally.
Do you have any insights?
LLD's --hash-style option doesn't appear to have a "none" option or I'd
just be making use of that here.
Cheers,
Sam
