Addendum: After more experimenting, it appears to me
that several versions of ld have a serious bug. My
512K ROM is located at 0xFFF00000 by hardware, so I
always tried to locate code and data sections within
this address space. However, when I changed the space
origin from 0xFFF00000 to 0x0FF0000, several of my
linker scripts worked. Does anyone have a fix for this
apparent bug?

Thanks,
Alex
