Yeah, I'm getting this same problem (with matsonic config)
Exact error:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/libgcc.a
gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o linuxbios -T ldscript.ld

nm -n linuxbios > linuxbios.map
objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S linuxbios linuxbios.strip
export size=`ls -l linuxbios.strip | (read p c u g size r ; echo $size)`

echo $size ; \

Like Ollie said, looks like the problem is somewhere in ldscript.base...
