What are you offering as a prize in your challenge?

What the documentation you read says, in part, is "[use] the `-T script'
linker option". Apparently there are people in this world who do not
infer from this that the option should be given to the linker.
I've updated it to say "linker" several more times for the benefit of
such people.

Presumably you mean _linker scripts_ and the ld _docs_.
Actually they're already there. I've gone to a lot of effort to make
that general documentation available to you in HTML form. You can find
links to those manuals at http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/doc/ , right
alongside "the html" you read. And if you install a prc-tools-htmldocs
package from http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/ you'll have it
all locally in HTML form.
And if you are using a real operating system, you probably already have
it all installed locally in info format.

As Ton noted, no typo.
It might be worth changing the suggested usage to "-Wl,-T,text_64k",
which would more reliably warn idiots who (mis)use it at compile-time,
but the advantage is offset by the probability of said idiot mistyping
all that punctuation and posting questions about that instead :-).

Sure :-)
