If a user specifes lfuse and efuse, but not hfuse, how are they going to be ordered by the linker script in memory? What gets put in the hole? The ELF file is just a group of data. It requires a program to decide if there is an error and to report one. The ELF file itself can't decide if there was an error. And I'm not about to patch the compiler toolchain with custom code that can't be committed upstream. > > I'm not turning this into a bike-shed event. Patches welcome. > > What is a bike-shed event?
