You're right, although it's probably a bug that the compiler doesn't
specify -T when cross-compiling a library. That's unrelated to your
patch though.

Or ignore_default_linkerscript, yes. That can be tackled later, I'll
commit you patch as is (with one minor change: the default debug format
for AArch64 should be DWARF rather than Stabs (Stabs doesn't work well
with 64 bit targets).
