arm-elf-ld generate arm interworking stub at bad address ?

Hi,
when I link mixed thumb and arm code with interworking, the linker
insert a .stub section at the beginning of the memory. 

But, like expressed in my linker script present bellow, I want my
exceptions vectors assembled with ".section .startup" at the origin of
the memory.

Why ld doesn't place this stub at other place ? 
Is there something wrong with my linker script ? Or is it a bug ?

I have this problem with both binutils-2.18.50 and binutils-2.19.50

bellow:the linker script and map output

---------------LINKER SCRIPT-----------------------

ram: ORIGIN = 0x67000, LENGTH = 92K 
}
_stack_end = 0x7E9FC;

.text :
{
*(.startup)
*(.text*)

*(.glue_7)
*(.glue_7t)
_etext = .;
} >ram
.data :
{
_data = .;
*(.data*)
_edata = .;
} >ram

.bss :
{
_bss_start = .;
*(.bss*)
} >ram
. = ALIGN(4);
_bss_end = . ;
}
_end = .;
