For the record, GNU ld changed to 64k max page size in 2014

"[RFC] ld/ARM: Increase maximum page size to 64kB"
Android driver forced 4k page size in AArch64 (D55029) and ARM (D77746).
A binary linked with max-page-size=4096 does not run on a system with a
higher page size configured. There are some systems out there that do
this and it leads to the binary getting `Killed!` by the kernel.
In the non-linker-script cases, when linked with -z noseparate-code
(default), the max-page-size increase should not cause any size
difference. There may be some VMA usage differences, though.

Port the D64906 technique to ARM. It deletes 3 alignments at
PT_LOAD boundaries for the default case: the size of an arm binary
decreases by at most 12kb.

Recommit r356666 with fixes for buildbot failure, as well as handling for
--emit-relocs, which we decide not to emit any relocation sections as the
table is already position independent and an offline tool can deduce the
relocations.
Instead of creating extra Synthetic .ARM.exidx sections to account for
gaps in the table, create a single .ARM.exidx SyntheticSection that can
derive the contents of the gaps from a sorted list of the executable
InputSections. This has the benefit of moving the ARM specific code for
SyntheticSections in SHF_LINK_ORDER processing and the table merging code
into the ARM specific SyntheticSection. This also makes it easier to create
EXIDX_CANTUNWIND table entries for executable InputSections that don't
have an associated .ARM.exidx section.
