Wow, thanks for this bug report! It seems you are absolutely correct, and I
actually learned with your bug report that the --pagesize option is for the
virtual memory page size, not the NAND page size.

Do you think you can cook a patch to address this problem?

One issue is that Buildroot has no idea what is the virtual memory page size on
the target system. I would suggest to just not pass any --pagesize option, and
leave the default of 4 KB, since this is what the vast majority of systems are
using.

And I'm pretty sure that if you use --pagesize 4K on a system that uses 8 KB or
64 KB pages, it will continue to work fine.
