Aha! Me too... I've been getting this for a while, and thought I was the only one. I
too changed the prefix at some stage in the distant past, although I hadn't considered
that that could be the problem. Actually, for me those two are defined but the
corresponding DATA_SECTION_END_MARKER_DECL etc is not set up correctly, so I get `end'
undeclared and `etext' undeclared.
The generated mk/config.h contains:
/* Define as the symbol which marks the end of the data section */
#define DATA_SECTION_END_MARKER end
/* Define as the decl which terminates the data section */
/* #undef DATA_SECTION_END_MARKER_DECL */
which seems curious.
