Section layout with ld script for flash based ARM system : what's wrong?

Would it be possible for you to put together a complete, and small,
example ?  (ie linker script, an object file or two and a
makefile/description of the command line used)

These errors arise because the linker is trying to resolve branches
and function calls over very large distances.  (ie more than the
26-bit addressing range support by ARM instructions).
