I just tried GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20071019 but the result
is almost the same:

 ld -Bstatic -T /share/home/clemens/work/u-boot/u-boot-1.3.0-rc3/board/tqm85xx/u-boot.lds -Ttext 0xfffc0000  -n $UNDEF_SYM cpu/mpc85xx/start.o cpu/mpc85xx/resetvec.o \
                        --start-group lib_generic/libgeneric.a board/tqm85xx/libtqm85xx.a cpu/mpc85xx/libmpc85xx.a lib_ppc/libppc.a fs/cramfs/libcramfs.a fs/fat/libfat.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a fs/reiserfs/libreiserfs.a fs/ext2/libext2fs.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a drivers/libdrivers.a drivers/bios_emulator/libatibiosemu.a drivers/nand/libnand.a drivers/nand_legacy/libnand_legacy.a drivers/onenand/libonenand.a drivers/net/libnet.a drivers/qe/qe.a drivers/serial/libserial.a drivers/sk98lin/libsk98lin.a post/libpost.a post/drivers/libpostdrivers.a post/lib_ppc/libpostppc.a post/lib_ppc/fpu/libpostppcfpu.a common/libcommon.a libfdt/libfdt.a --end-group -L /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.2.2 -lgcc \
                        -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot
ld: u-boot: section `.bootpg' can't be allocated in segment 1
LOAD: .bootpg .resetvec
ld: final link failed: Bad value
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

Any ideas? The messages still don't give me any idea where to start
debugging.
