Looks like the problem which I found long time ago in binutils but have
no time to fix. What I discovered is that if you request link map (-Map)
and the linker command file (u-boot.lds) contains conditional statement
(in u-boot it's usually DEFINED(env_offset) ? env_offset : .) then the
linker crashes. I don't know if Sandpoint needs this statement, maybe it
can be removed, otherwise remove -Map.
