Stop this madness.  This gets you an immediate NAK on the patch set.

What madness? This does not change at all with my patches, these
duplicates already exist in the current code.

That doesn't make it any better, and was cause for issue as Chris
demonstrated.  Can we get rid of that duplication please?

4/4 in my v2 removes the redundant symbols.

... actually, that only removes the redundant __stub_start, and the
redundant __vectors_start is already removed in patch #1. Patch #4
(v2) may be shot down for other reasons, in that case I can simply
move the removal of __stubs_start to patch #1 instead.
