Without this, the vectors are removed if LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled. At startup, the CPU (silently) hangs in the undefined instruction exception as soon as the first timer interrupt arrives.
On my setup, the system also boots fine without the 2nd and 3rd KEEP() statements, so I cannot tell whether these are actually required.
