uclibc/gcc combined with elf2flt riscv linker file fully resolve the PC relative __global_pointer$ value at compile time and do not generate a relocation entry to set a runtime gp value. As a result, if the flatbin loader introduces a gap between the text and data sections, the gp value becomes incorrect and prevent correct execution of a flatbin executable.
Avoid this problem by enabling CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_TEXT_DATA_GAP automatically when CONFIG_RISCV is enabled and CONFIG_MMU disabled.
