-Subject: [PATCH] Revert "PR24311, FAIL: S-records with constructors"
-
-This reverts commit ebd2263ba9a9124d93bbc0ece63d7e0fae89b40e.
-
-Revert this patch since it prevent booting a sh4 system under
-Qemu as reported on the Binutils mailing list [1].
-This commit is not related to sh4, it's weird that it is the
-only affected architecture.
