Sorry, but I don't understand this explanation. With the linker script we make sure that the symbol _start gets linked to the absolute address CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, right? And _TEXT_BASE is a storage that holds exactly the value CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, which should be identical to the address of _start ?
