I have reverted that patch now, so ARM uses ".fixup" again like every
other architecture does, and now "*(.fixup) *(.text .text.*)" works
correctly, while ""*(.fixup) *(.text .fixup .text.*)" also fails
the same way that I saw before:

That is really odd.  The linker isn't supposed to treat those script
snippets differently.  First match for .fixup wins.

Sorry for my mistake. I checked again and cannot reproduce what I
thought I saw earlier. "*(.fixup) *(.text .text.*)" fails
as would be expected.
