our linker (from binutils) doesn't seem to support -01, so I'm puzzled
where this guys got the idea from. The stupid thing is that whatever he
wrote is kinda nonsense, since you need to pass it to gcc in CFLAGS (-Wl
is a gcc/cc option, not a ld option), and not LDFLAGS. also, it would make
much more sense to just put -01 in LDFLAGS directly.

none of this works anyway:

/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-01'
